Edthefolkie BS: Letters from 1943! ( Billybob) (76* d) RE: BS: Letters from 1943! ( Billybob) 01 Jul 14

I'd encourage anyone who has elderly relatives (not just folks with dementia etc) to try to bring their memories out. It's incredibly illuminating, good for them, and good for you.   

My mother died at 95 a few years ago - she was born just up the road from the National Shell Filling Factory at Chilwell. Mum was 5 when the place exploded, causing many deaths and injuries. It was one of her first memories - she and her mother rushed out and found all sorts of horse and motor traffic taking the wounded to any hospital that was available. 1st July 1918. Mum was 5. If she hadn't told this to my sister and me, nobody would have known.
