Nick was absolutely thrilled to be offered the chance to speak to Melva Stacey. Incredibly grateful to Melva's daughter Karin for contacting me and asking if I might be interested in interviewing her mother who is 95 years young about her time here during the occupation.
I didn't need to be asked twice! Melva told a fascinating account about how life was for her as a child, her family, working in the Red Cross message bureau and nursing. Plus much much more.
I really enjoyed talking to Melva and by strange coincidence it turns out that her father used to be one of the listeners to a radio show that I used to present on local hospital radio and sometimes on the BBC back in the 1980's and early 1990's! He used to regularly write in with requests for people in nursing homes and hospitals.
You can see some pictures of Melva here including a wartime one.
