 		 Dad was not at home
Women went out to work

Betty remembers…

Looking back now I wonder how my Mom coped. She had four children to raise, no family close by, worked in a munitions factory and had to come to terms with my father’s death. She never talked about Dad. I suppose that was her way of coping.

From Leaving the Village by Sue Satterthwaite - Betty’s Wartime Memories of Aldridge
