An extract from "Easter in Eden" - a lovely holiday we spent at St Margaret's at Cliffe, near Dover, England. One day we visited Dover Castle and had look at the Secret War Tunnels. This is what I said in my book "From there it was time to go in the Secret War Tunnels. A young woman showed a group of us round. We were warned that if we suffered from blood pressure or heart troubles we should not go in, but we were okay. In places it was dark and scary. There were exhibits of the hospital casements and tunnels where the injured were operated on - medical equipment, operating tables, red bloody bandages and swabs (red dye). Also we saw tables where they ate, with plates of food on (which smelt of food), and tables with packs of cards, etc., for amusement. .......
Now I must add that my mother-in-law worked as a cypher officer in the second world war and worked in the underground tunnels (not Dover) and moved about a lot because it was secret work. Read my book and learn about places like this and others such as beautiful Canterbury Cathedral.
