London to Egypt
First of all I was in Ack-Ack command for four years. But when the war in Europe finished we were spare bods, so they sent us out to Egypt when I was waiting to be demobbed. And I thought why send me to Egypt when I am just going to be de-mobbed? But I waited another year before I was demobbed.
On VE Day I was on the sands at Clacton and on VJ Day I was in Egypt. And in the end we were in a little barracks and they said keep away from the perimeter fence because you'll probably get bombed - and we did.
