Quotes by Carola Oman (?)

“I found that I was sitting for that examination on the exact anniversary of my last shot at it—quarter of a century ago—January 16th, 1914. And what’s more, under the questions, I had scribbled, in the high spirits natural to sweet seventeen, ‘Never again! not if I know it!’ Before I returned that paper to its file,” said Miss Morrison, “I added the words, ‘First Aid taken again January 16th, 1939. I did not know.”

“Young ears are very quick. I had not heard anything, although my hearing is above the average. I called out to ask her whether these were some of our Went bombers returning from the raid. She answered, sounding quite shocked, ‘Oh, no! Not coming home. Cologne is only two and a half to three flying hours from here, under favourable conditions. This must mean that they’re going out again to-night.”
