''When war broke out on the 3rd September 1939, I was 5 years 8 months and a few days old. I wasn't frightened, just curious as to what was going to happen'' (Extract from 'Mary's War'... autobiographical account of Mary's wartime 'adventures'). With her older and younger siblings, Mary was evacuated to Exeter, and then, later on to Kettering .
