Wartime Memories! WW2, Air Raids D-Day 1944, Castletown, Portland. Reg Gill phone chat 1984

Local postmaster, shopkeeper and boot-maker Reg Gill recalling life in Castletown, Portland which was under military occupation through the Second World War. Although profoundly deaf the 87-year old had a sharp memory. Reg (1897-1984) was a larger-than-life and popular character, who in 1935 founded the Portland Swimming Club, which went on to win the Dorset Water Polo championships for many successive years.
