The War Years

 

 

These pages are an extract from a book, I published on January 1st 2020
Busky lived at Butlers Farm in Bures, with her parents and sister Mary.
During 1943, without warning the American Airforce arrived at the farm and commandeered all the land, apart from the farmhouse.
Another adjacent farm, Bakers Hall was also seized.
Between the two of them, numerous concrete roads were installed, which resulted in one of the largest Munition Depots in East Anglia.

This is Chapter 11, which was based entirely on many hours of talking to Busky, recalling her war-time memories on the farm.
