Clydebank is a raw memory here because it wasn't a big city, more a family town of shipyard and other heavy industry workers. It's very personal, especially in that particular school where the starred names on the memorial plaque indicate family members who died together. Project work by school pupils constantly amazes me.Theresa Breslinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240135723649161949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-52237342566696190462012-03-19T12:09:05.378+00:002012-03-19T12:09:05.378+00:00I can't wait to read Kezzie at War.

It is a book right up my alley.<br /><br />I love to see the projects kids do for the things they are learning about and when an author visits. <br /><br />Glad your mother's cousins turned up safe and sound. Amazing story about the baby girl.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all of this and will be looking forward to April 5th.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-90079469717052340222012-03-19T11:51:59.507+00:002012-03-19T11:51:59.507+00:00Thank you for a beautifully evocative post, Theres...Thank you for a beautifully evocative post, Theresa - and especially that vivid picture of the Clydebank Blitz. I'm ashamed to say I knew hardly anything about that, and guess it's a victim of the 'if it's north of London it didn't happen' school of history.<br /><br />But it's good to see our schools are still keeping the memory alive - and of course books like 'Kezzie at War'. Best wishes for a huge success with the re-release!alberridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986443240923520466noreply@blogger.com
