Arthur Moy, Memories of War ‘To all the people of Eastry I say thank you for caring for me in my time of need, to all my school mates if any of them still remember the funny kid from the North…I have done my best (to put me memories down on paper), but please remember that I am now 78 years young.’ Last but not least to the memory of Mr and Mrs Martin, who returned some sanity to my life. Their kindness and compassion will always remain with me until the end of my days. God bless you all.’ Arthur J. Moy
