  I dare say that some people have absolutely no insight as to what the total destruction of a city is.
  What it is like to have to run to the cellar or air-raid shelter, what it is like when whole streets come crashing down and fires burn all around, or when people set alight with phosphorous go running and screaming through the streets and jump into a river, only to burn even more through the chemical reaction of the water.

  
  
  My mother told me how she experienced all those feelings when she was living on Snargate St at the start of the war, and being bombed and shelled on an almost daily basis.
