| Every Girl's Story Book (The Avenue Press, circa 1938) |
My mother's cousin, Ellen Fenton, was presented with this book as a reward for good attendance by the Aintree (Liverpool) Salvation Army Corp in 1938.
Ellen was later killed in the Blitz at the age of 16 or 17. My mother has a vivid memory of her body laid out on the dining room table, and of the dirt pressed into the back of Ellen's hand by the crumbling masonry that killed her.
