    When Ken and Nellie were living down Clayton Bridge during the War and after a visit by Winnie Mather, Nell's sister, Ken was walking back her to the bus stop when he heard the sound of a plane.  He was quick to realise it was German, on its way back from a bombing mission, and pushed Winnie and himself into the ditch, just in time before the plane started firing on them.  Ken saved both their lives !
    
    Nellie and Ken Turner went to Belgium on a School Trip 15th April 1973.  Sue has their postcard in her Mother's Archives.
