    Thomas Fisher .     Civilian

    I was aged nine when the war started. I lived in Liverpool during the Blitz and was not evacuated, as many of my school friends were, to North Wales. I used to go out the morning after a heavy raid the night before to collect shrapnel from both the bombs and the anti-aircraft fire. I saw many of the homes and a local maternity hospital that had been destroyed by the bombing. For our defence we had one battery of anti-aircraft guns, and this was placed in a different street every night so that the bombers couldn't pinpoint its position. Eventually, they scored a direct hit and that was the end of Liverpool's defence against the Blitz.




    WOI Thomas Kinniburgh "Tam" Fisher .     British Army 2nd Btn. King's Own Scottish Borderers   from Glasgow

    The only things Thomas Fisher said about the war was "how bloody close the Japs were all the time" and, because he was QM at the time and in charge of supplies, "hated the bloody mules (about 30 of them) because they made so much noise. The Japs heard us miles away".

    According to my Mother, Bill was handed over to the Italians for transportation to a P.O.W camp (Mum says they had a telegram to this effect). But, apparently, the Italians put the POW's onto an unmarked ship, and we unfortunatly sank it. This is the story as told to me by my Mother....
