My late mother is front row left. Jeanne Margaret Watson as she was then. I have been looking into Banstead Wood POW camp, as Mum was friendly with some of the Germans. She won a German songbook at school. She passed her love of the German language on to me

My mother is in the photo, second row, fourth from the left. She described cycling from Sutton to Reigate each day for school, lying on the grass looking at aircraft contrails overhead during the Battle of Britain, and sheltering in the nearby caves in the chalk during air raid alerts.
