I was at the Moon Street school then and I remember the Armistice Day very clearly because there was a vendetta between the apprentices in the Works and our 6th formers, and they used to come up snowballing if there was any snow about - but on Armistice Day they all came out of the Works. As soon as they heard the Armistice was declared they downed tools and came out and marched in a body up to us and went all round the school banging on the windows, ‘Let them out the war’s over, let them out’. So of course the teachers could do nothing else but let us out and we came out in single file as we were taught to and got a bang on the head, each one of us. |
