Wartime life as a Morse code operator

94-year-old *Connie Hird* recalls her days as a Morse code operator during
WWII

Connie did her initial training at Compton Bassett in Wiltshire.
She says this included sending and receiving Morse code messages and the
assembling, repairing and full understanding of wireless sets in use at the
time. After this in-depth training she progressed to a post at North West
Central Communications Depot just off the old East Lancashire Road at
Blackbrook near Wigan.

She describes the outward appearance of this extremely important centre
resembled a huddle of hen and chicken huts in a small hedge-lined field,
but these masked the entrance to a huge underground complex containing
masses of rooms holding banks of teleprinters, telephone switchboards,
Morse code stations and wireless telegraphy sections.
