 What about later on - this garden you started at sixteen, how
old were you when you went off to war? Well
not when I went off to war - I left in 1939 because I was transferred to
Bristol. I was working as a clerical officer in Bush House and then at the
beginning of the war they had to decentralise a lot of work, and work then used
to be sent there from the post offices for stamp duty to be impressed on was
transferred to the provincial offices - so they had to have - normally they
were staffed with a higher executive officer, two executives and three clerical
officers and one clerical officer rather and to cope with it, they got an extra
executive officer and two extra clerical officers.
