Board and Lodgings
![[Brixham Harbour - Preparing for D Day]](/thumbs/t7x68x1184.jpg)
When I was a boy during the war, my mother provided board and lodgings to nurses and other folk.
We had two American Servicemen billeted in our house in Ellacombe. I remember D-day and the children asking the teacher what it meant.
