The humour from working for a German boss, and how Mum stood in as a surrogate agony aunt for one of her friends who thought she was pregnant. You’re going to hear commentary on how she staved off the threat of hunger, the dangers of working in a bomb factory, My Mum was born in Darwen, Lancashire – near Blackpool, England not all that far from Manchester, and was 17 when war was declared, so it wasn’t long before she had to join the armed forces or to be ordered to take up some other pursuit,īut she certainly wouldn’t be allowed to stay working in a wallpaper factory! And I’d like to thank my Mum for sportingly recording the intro to this episode. You’ve just been listening to some extracts from interviews with my Mum Anne Cheall about her war years. You’ll hear memoirs and memories of veterans connected to Dad’s war in some way – and much more. The aim of these podcasts is to give you the stories behind the story. I’m Paul Cheall, son of Bill Cheall whose WW2 memoirs have been published by Pen and Sword – in FTFDTH.
