Diary Entry: Went with John Bideford, Hartland, Stoke, Clovelly, Bucks Mills, Westwood Ho!
Diary notes: Did John have access to a car (with petrol)? There were not many private cars with petrol in wartime due to rationing which lasted from September 1939 to 1950. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/26/newsid_2502000/2502691.stm
Aunt Pamela's War 
Dear Giles,
A good question! Maybe Janet might know? Was her father a Doctor?
When the RN Signal School in Portsmouth was bombed and evacuated temporarily to Haslemere and Witley and when my father later in the War worked at the Admiralty, he had access to a car and petrol ration from Catherington to Petersfield Station and was not allowed ro deviate from this route.
Love to you both,
B&P
