Sounds as though you and my late father were in the same location at the Battle of Cable Street!

Many more productive years to you and thank you GA for bringing us her story.

Hope she gets to see a real socialist government in her lifetime oncemore, one that matches Clem Attlee’s in outlook and deeds. Won’t be long now! No Pasaran!

I cannot get the mental picture of her mother taking cover from the air raid with the baby’s pot on her head out of my mind.
