209228 Pat "Marther" Turner Royal Ordnance Factory, Swynnerton from:27 Croft Court, Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs Pat Turner, my mother, served at the Royal Ordinance Factory, Swynnerton in the war years. Her maiden name was Arrowsmith. She married my father in 1944 at Smallthorne Church. They lived at 27 Croft Court, Smallthorne, Stoke-on Trent. I remember her telling me when she went to work that some times there would be aircraft following their train and she assumed it was a German plane. Also she would say when she returned from work her skin would be a yellow colour from the shell fillings. I would be interested to hear from any one who perhaps knew my Mother or any stories.
