I remember the air raid sirens, the hum of planes, the bombs whistling down. We all had personal gas masks we had to carry everywhere. Just a few years ago I was in London. We visited a re-enactment of an air raid. There was a shelter just like ours and when you went in, the sirens sounded and all the sounds from the war started. I had to leave, crying after all these years. I often wonder if I had PTSD, since my entire life I have dreaded conflict. I can not bear to have people mad at each other, or yelling. War is not the answer to anything, except maybe to people who have never been in one. Liverpool was heavily bombed, because of the ships coming into port with supplies. The trains taking supplies from the docks were bombed.
