Colin started work at the Midland Bank, Hailsham, before the war, his pay was £1 a week (paid monthly) he had lodgings there and came home at week ends.
We moved when the war started to Bridgnorth, Shropshire, to a furnished house while Mum & Dad looked for a house – after about three months we moved to Wolverhampton and Colin joined us there where he joined the Midland Bank till he went in the Merchant Navy.
When he was in the Merchant Navy he once brought home two lemons – we hadn’t seen any for years – We raffled them for some charity and collected £20!
I can’t remember exactly when – probably 1944 he developed TB and was in a Sanatorium (Prestwood) where we used to visit him taking farm eggs and other food – food was rationed.
(August 1989)
