Diary of Phyllis Bethel of Topsham Devon

An account of her travels with her husband and her daughter Marion from Wiesbaden in Germany and the Second World war in Topsham Devon as written in her diaries between 1929 and 1953.

6th April 1941

54.45 - 6.15pm an alert. From 10.30 to 12.30 there were no less than 4 alerts. Bertie had gone to bed when the last one sounded, but he got up again and dressed, then went back to bed and asleep. At 3.00am the all clear sounded. I pity the poor ARP wardens, chasing back and forth from their homes. A husband and wife belonging to our section have 1/4 mile to walk to their post in Denver House from behind Water Tower. The home Guard practise in the paddock behind us belonging to Pyne's.
