Geoff Stanfield 1933
About a day later there was a knock at the door and mum answered it. There was dad in FSMO (Full Service Marching Order), in other words full kit bag, small pack, respirator, ammunition pouches, tin hat, rifle, bayonet and water bottle. I could hardly see him.

I left school at the age of fourteen. I had passed the exam to go to Grammar school.
I couldn't go to Grammar School as dad couldn't afford the uniform. I joined the RAF at the age of eighteen. A friend asked me what I was doing during The Battle 0f Britain weekend.
