Supplementary information:

I was born in 1937, so by the time I was sitting up and taking notice it would have been possibly 1943-45. I remember my aunt telling me that two of the soldiers came back after curfew and couldn't get into barracks. Apparently they slept under a tank and sadly during a night of heavy rain the tank settled on them and they died. Lot of memories, dog fights in the summer sky, a Dornier in flames passing over the cottage and the biggest news in the village, a jettisoned bomb killing a pig.
