Just after dinner, an ordinary school day, just after dinner, all of a sudden the young chaps from the Works burst into the school, they knocked the headmaster over and they beckoned all of the kids out of the classrooms, and believe me we didn’t need any encouragement. We all flew out and, as I say, the staff were just left standing and all fallen. Then we marched behind the band all the way round the town.. I remember that as the band was marching round Wolverton there were people all over the place waving tiny Union Jacks and as a child I remember, well, wherever could they have got those from in such a short time, like as if the war was only just ended today, wherever could all of those Union Jacks have sprung from?
