V For Victory

Burnage High School Hall and the Gym were very badly damaged and not repaired until well after the war. A number of houses were bombed. However the bombs remained mainly over Burnage.

The anniversary of D-day tomorrow reminds me that early in the war my high school in England was closed for a week for repairs after it had been hit by bombs from German planes during the night. I think of that week, when students at every other school in England labored on as usual, while I lay in bed, as my happiest experience of the entire war.
