On previous blogs I have told my story but made no mention of my brother and my sister. Why that should be I cannot explain. The fact is that I have one of each! Should I say I have one sister still alive but my brother is no longer with us.
My brother was some 10 years younger than I and as a result he was only three when I left school and only seven when I joined the army. When he did the 11 plus examination the oral part had been cut out. The oral part had been the stumbling block for both myself and my sister. He passed the examination and as a result had a rather better education. My sister was only four years younger than I and I knew her better in those years.
My sister became a seamstress in a tailoring firm.
My brother first worked for Morris Motors as clerk.
