Memories Of The Second World War

A Memory of Catterick.

My father was a band master in the Duke of Wellington's Regiment (regular army). I was born in India in 1939 and my mother and father had to come back to England at the start of the Second World War. I can remember Catterick Camp although I was only young. I can remember having whooping cough and the Army doctor was Dr Pye. I also remember the tanks and the Italian prisoners of war, and army manoeuvres in the field opposite our house. I went to a private school when I was about 4 years old but can only remember one teacher, Miss Winter I think. My mum taught dancing there. Is there anyone who was at Catterick Camp round about that time?
