Then followed by the 'yanks' as you say. <br />But had it not been for the victory of Mongomery at El Alamein, that was in 1942 and Montgomery battled the Nazis at El Alamein.<br />Every day there were raids and we had to rush to the shelters, a horrendous place where we all gathered and waited.<br />My mother was heavily pregnant about to give birth.<br />Later it was the Yanks as you called them who who saved my newlyborn sister from death with the Pennicilin they had at their disposal.<br />For the rest of the war, I got to love these American guys who gave me chocolate and whi shared parcels received from home;<br />Well maybe all this is out of context but you brought this back to memory.<br />Gosh i must be terribly old!<br />suzy vidalSultana Vidalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-165481954435949322012-11-15T21:09:23.295+00:002012-11-15T21:09:23.295+00:00another account:
