Interviewed by Meldrum School pupils on 1/5/97.Summary: Willie is asked questions about his wartime memories by the pupils on subjects like rationing, air raids, war service, when the war broke out, when he was in France, his training and entry to the armed forces. He tells the pupils about 'the Miracle of Dunkirk' when the little ships came to rescue the soldiers on the beach. They ask about camp facilities, and Willie tells them about being in tents, making a cookhouse in the open and making the best of it. The children speak a little about Willie's background and things they had in the classroom relating to wartime. Willie says that war is an awful thing. Included on the transcript are notes from Wikipedia online database about Montgomery and Alexander, the generals that Willie speaks about.
