Hello,
My father George Luckman was born 32 Newtown Row Aston in 1902.
He often talked about this life in Brum and several times a year took us there on days out.
One day he took us to the Austin Longbridge works and stood at the gate and told us he had spent many years working night shift there and even worked there during the second world war.
Another time he took us to British Camp Malvern, and we stood at the high point and he pointed out and said "I was in the Home Guard and stood here and saw Brum all a blaze !"
Years and years have gone by now and Dad is dead, but I often wondered what did they make at Longbridge that was so special that Dad was'nt "called up" to fight ? After all he was young enough to go was'nt he ?
Any help much appreciated
Kindest Regards
