My husband had 4 brothers - 3 went in the Royal Marines and 1 in the Navy. Luckily they all survived. Outside their house in Prince Street there was an unexploded bomb.
On VE day I was living with his mother. My little girl was 9 months old. I helped make the bonfire for the celebrations. Things were hard, with my husband having been in the forces he didn't have a job after the war. He became a fireman and his brothers became policemen - so they stayed in uniform.
