A Memory of Doe Lea.
Mother and me (few months old) joined my father, Leonard Sowiec, at Miners Hostel, Hardwick Camp, Doe Lea in Septemer 1947 having travelled down from Peterhead, Scotland where my father was previously stationed (Polish Free Forces, Parachute Brigade, Theatre of war Market Garden). I visited Hardwick at a recent WW2 event and no one could remember anything except that they caused a nuisance by 'stealing' locals' bikes to return to camp after a night out. I was told that it took quite some time to empty the lake/s at Hardwick of quite a number of bikes!
I learned to walk in the grounds at Harwick Hall.
