Doodlebugs, Gas Masks & Gum by Christina Rex

Doodlebugs, Gas Masks & Gum by Christina Rex

Six years of conflict, where military manoeuvres, bombs and exhortations to greater dedication to the War Effort were a daily staple, became the normality of our childhood after September 3rd 1939. For young children, this was a time of great excitement. Imagine the thrill of: Anderson shelters built in back gardens; Concrete blocks and barbed wire sprouting on beaches; Soldiers and tanks in the streets; The Battle of Britain and those spectacular dogfights; The Blitz and masses of shrapnel to collect; Searchlights lighting up the night sky; American servicemen appearing and their inexhaustible supplies of chewing gum.

Christina Rex grew up during the Second World War. She lives in Ely. Her son, Professor Richard Rex, is Director of Studies in History at Queens' College, Cambridge.
