Goodbye at Avenue of Remembrance
Bertie Charles Anger was born in 1925 in Stoke-by-Nayland, a small village in southern Suffolk. He is the son of Percy Charles Anger and his wife Maud Mary Anger.
Bertie’s father Percy owns a construction company in the village, P.C. Anger & Son Ltd.
His mother is the landlady (or landlady) of the local pub, the Black Horse Public House, where the whole family also lives.
After his school years, Bertie chooses the butchery trade and goes to work for Villlage Butchers, a butchery company with three retail outlets in the area.
Bertie enters the army, becoming Private in the Royal Norfolk Regiment, 1st Bn. (the 1st Battalion), known as the Norfolks.
And then the day comes for Bertie, too, when he has to leave for the front.
