Hedley

-Left school at 14.

-During the occupation, farmers had to grow so much wheat in order to feed the Germans and everyone else.

-The wheat was cut and stacked.

-Hedley kept offering him glass after glass till the German was passed out drunk.

-He got his father who told everyone what he’d done in Jersey French.

-They all took and hid some of the wheat.

-After that, they always sent two Germans instead.
