Cambridge Hospital.
A Memory of Aldershot.
I used to live in Denmark square and I was 11 years of age. My friend Donna Meek lived in the army quarters. We used to adventure out behind the Cambridge hospital, were there was clear signs of bunkers that had been bombed, the old railway station was at the bottom. I found an old shaft which as kids we could climb into, it appeard to run up to the hospital. We would climb in there and go to the back which was about 28 feet long. The problem was her younger twin brothers knew where it was and climbed in and lit candles. They died there, only 9 years of age - suffocation. I never saw my friend again and as old that I am, I will always will blame myself for that tragic date. To this day I have never walked up behind the Cambridge Hospital. I am now 61 years age but I will never forget that tragedy.
