Something got me thinking the other day, I realised that the generation that knew WWII are diminishing quite rapidly now.
My family are East Londonders and we lost everything in the war. Home and possesions were reduced to a pile of rubble.
My mother told me about goods from the American Red Cross. She was especially fond of a pair of blue and white socks. It was also her first taste of peanut butter.
I remember wondering who they were, these people who had helped them. I will never know.
I hope that somebody did convey gratitude, but regardless I on behalf of my family would like to say thankyou.
It did mean a great deal.
