<p dir="ltr">I have attached my experiences during the Second World War. Initially it is in the form of a report made by me at aged nine (I had done this previously in a York University exercise on a writing course). The letter, although posed as that of a nine year old, is true and accurate in what it describes. I follow this with an explanatory brief about my full experiences during the Second World War.<br></p>
