I can remember the Germans sending in sweets for the children to have, during that time. We used to go and have dinners at a soup kitchen, the States used to provide special meals for the children, bean jar and duff [dumplings] and whatnot. We used to have a jolly good feed. The kitchen was at the Blanche Carriere, in the Vale. We used to ride down there on our bicycles.
