Wonderful thread Dolly here are photos of my parents from this era. My father was just too young to do anything official in the war. He later went down the mines for his national service but mum was just old enough to be in the ATS.

My mother's father was also in charge of fire watching in Maidstone where both of my parents grew up, I am not sure if this is how they met but they both as teens (13-17) did this in Maidstone under mum's dad.

Your parents look so young there, like kids. Part of that war was fought on your soil which brings it to a higher level of reality. Your country was heroic during that time.

Wonderful pix & memories of your parents. Nice to have someone posting who had involvement in the British effort.. it was your war until we dragging our feet finally joined the effort - We should have done it sooner IMHO ..

Thanks Eleanor
