| Title |
American soldiers and local girls. |
| |
| Description |
I can remember when the American soldiers came in, and they were stationed here in Enniskillen. And the girls were, of course, falling over themselves, because there was nylons to be got, and chocolates and sweets, and everything, y'see? We’d have been going to dances in those days, and I can remember women, y'know, young girls going out with servicemen and that. They weren’t so keen on our soldiers as they would be on Americans, y'see, there was something strange, and they had big talk, and they had plenty of money, and they had, as I say, the nylons, and they had chocolates, and all, cigarettes and everything to give them.
