From there I moved onto Kennegy Manor (hostel) where I stayed from January 44 until April 46 and made good friends with Alice Finnegan from Bradford, Edna Fuller from Liverpool, Elsie from Newcastle and quite a few others. After the war I returned to my home town of Liverpool to work as a clerk again.
