| Description: |
Ken Baker was a boy at the time of World War 1 and remembers horses training on Winsford Hill. Soldiers rode through the village blowing their trumpets and Mr Dicker, the schoolmaster, read the war news to them every morning. With his father away in the Royal Engineers, he learnt to milk a cow, crying because the bucket was too heavy.
