LETTER OF INTEREST FROM OLD LONDON The Early Days of the War As Told by a London Girl. The following is an extract of a let­ ter received by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fuller and family from Miss Winifred Fuller, their niece, who lives in Lon­ don, England. Miss Fuller is well known in Wingham as she and her sister, Ivy, visited the Fuller family here during the summer 'of last year, We are sure that the letter will prove most interesting to our readers as it tells of a bit of family life in London during the early part of the war. A Bit of . Old London Well, tmcle, can you believe that we arc again at war? Sometimes ev­ en now I think it can’t possibly be true. I guess you heard the broadcast CAPo]^, "Tl»« put.it Iw.wMcIt' t.b.cco b« •••Led" * I i for all the other windows, It is quite a performance to black out each night and open again in the morning. We have made one of our rooms gas-proof as far as possible, It is the room opposite the kitchen. We have taken out all the furniture, taken out all pictures, put up the shutters and nailed blinds <ver hem, put sticky paper all around the floor and any little cracks in the ceiling, also sealed up the fire-place, Had such fun with mum’s room. We have left the dining-room, table in there. Dad sent us up a box ottaman so we have a bed in there and we can store some food in there is necessary, Then we have deck chairs, a bath of sand, shovels to dig ourselves out, first-aid outfit, the old bottle of bran­ dy, a candle and all the things we should have. We shall be able to walk’ around with the lights on any­ where at the bottom of the house,, or upstairs for that matter. We have .tried to be prepared. The black-out outside is the worst part, Can you imagine London with-- out any light, Perhaps you would not think it so bad but to-us it is dread­ ful. It is really a job to get home in the dark. The big mail roads have to be crossed. The buses are running as usual with the smallest glimmer in­ side, The trains have no lights at all. We carry torches which we. can switch on and off quickly to show us who we are bumping into. The under­ ground is the best way to travel be­ cause they have the lights on down there as usual. It is a strange thing to see the West End without its blaze of lights, also every important build­ ing and nearly all others are sand bagged and it is nothing to find your­ self face to face with a pile. All the theatres and pictures were closed at first but gradually a number have been opened again. , a• We are not rationed for food yet. You can buy everything just the same except sugar which most shops only sell in the amount you usually have. We have had to fill in a form which we have all been given. Identification cards which we must carry with us and from this record, too, our ration­ ing cards will be allotted. Petrol (gas­ oline) is' rationed. This has put lots of cars off the road. This of course is better for most people in the black­ out. I expect you have read about the evacuation. This was a huge prob­ lem.

There is a possibility that I will be evacuated with my department. I shan’t know where until I arrive. Mo­ ther is busy knitting socks for sold­ iers, she had already done several pairs. We have had three air raid warn­ ings so far. We can buy super siren suits for air-raids, trousers and top all in one, with a zipp fastener right down the front. Some have hoods too. One raid warning sounded at 7.
