208615 Joyce Kelsey Munitions Worker I used to work in a munitions factory in St Mary Cray, Orpington Kent. One day the Siren had gone off - so we all went to the shelter. I used to hate going as some of the men and boys were a rough sort and being only 14 I did not like the bad language. After about an hour even though we had not had the "all clear" I decided to go and cycle home as I wanted to be there before dark. Some people told me to wait but being determined I got my bike and went. I started cycling up Sevenoaks way towards cray Avenue when I heard a plane sounding very close - I carried on but thought I had better take shelter. Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire and I heard the bullets whistle through the trees and then plough into the road about 100 yards ahead! I rode my bike as fast as I could and took shelter under the railway bridge at St Mary Cray. I was shaking and shocked to think that the enemy was trying to kill me! - there was other traffic on the road so this fighter must have seen me on the road and decided to take a pop shot. I will never forget it. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
