My Mum Made The Tea
A Memory of Dartford.
During the doodlebug attacks on Dover, my mum was an air raid warden. She had a friend with her and they saw the doodlebug engine cut out and dive to earth. It landed near Pauls Place but did not explode. We went to watch it and cordon the area off. The Royal Engineers came and made it safe. My mum asked the engineers if she could do anything to help - one of the men, a sergeant, said "make us a cup of tea", which my mum did. So Mum made him some tea, they got to talking, decided to meet again, became close friends and they married 2 years later and were married for 50 years! When they passed, they were buried together.
