Wartime memories
Remembrance Sunday, which was observed on 10th November 2024, is often a time for reflection and to remember those who have given their lives for their country.
For residents at Abbeyfield House care home in Bramhall, it was also an opportunity to cast their minds back to their own memories of wartime.

One resident said, “I was five years old and when I went to bed I could hear the drumming sounds of the German aircraft. I also remember the Anderson shelter at the back of my garden where we used to go to be safe.”
Another resident recalled, “I was a schoolgirl when the war broke out and I stayed with my family in Liverpool. I remember the ration books, and my mum was a wonderful cook. There was also a man who used to walk around every night making sure the curtains were closed and that there was no sign of anyone’s lights on.”
