My schooling at West Square adjacent to the Imperial War Museum was interrupted by the outbreak of WW2. I have always been interested in literature and have composed a few poems myself, especially when I was in RAF Hospital Ely for a year.But a poem that has stuck with me throughout my life and which I try to abide by is "Vitai Lampada" (There's a breathless hush in the close tonight)by Sir Henry Newbolt. I shan't quote it here it's too long I'm sure you either know it or can look it up. I was brought up in working class district of south east London.
