Interview with Elsie Davis

Interview with Elsie Davis

Elsie Davis was raised in Balham by her mother after her father died when she was a child. She worked in a factory and then at the start of the war she went to work on the buses as a conductress because it was a Reserved Occupation. She witnessed bodies being brought out of bombed out houses on an almost daily basis. She accepted rations and difficulties as just something you got through.
