Shared Memories of Liss

Year: 1940s
Liss Infant School
I remember nothing of the school except the day a German plane flew low over the playground. The teachers quickly got us under cover but I could see my mother standing out in a field in a yellow rain hat. I did not know at the time that my father had seen the plane coming in low to strafe us and had run to an anti-aircraft gun (a bren gun?) in a vain attempt to shoot it down. He was at Longmoor Camp. Does anyone else remember this and did the playground actually get shot up? We only stayed in Liss for a short time. We were in a guest house or boarding house I think. The year would have been about 1942-43 as I would have started school only a short time before. I do hope someone will read this and be able to clarify the school incident. I had a war full of such incidents and would like to get them into order and written down for my grandchildren. Thank you for any help Anne. Last edited: 8/18/2007 17:28 by Anne Cross |
