My memories of the war are that food and clothes and even bicycles were rationed due to the war and U-boats bombing the ships out at sea. We lived off of the produce of the land :
Cassava, plantain, bananas, eddoes, yams, sweet potatoes, rice, barley, etc etc.
When the Americans joined the war soldiers were sent to help guard the country. The Americans were generous to the children and those in need.
