Transcription
Then came the big training. We were sent up to Yorkshire to Richmond and we were put into tents and route marched and I suppose had to do our packing and one thing or another and this was sort of to toughen up for going overseas. Well then D-Day came and we were then sent down and again split up to various hospitals to handle the casualties coming back. We knew, we knew what the score was because we had been up and down to London and we’d been through air raids so we weren’t, we were prepared and by what we saw come back we knew but somehow that didn’t, it didn’t phase us.
