Maggie sorry I cannot comment on detachment orders as I know nothing about it but I am sure you are right. It is strange when I was very young I had scarlet fever and had to go into isolation when the ambulance man brought me home I hugged him and did not want to leave him now I am unsure if I remember this or is it in my mind because my Mum told me.
Morning Susan,,I can still vividly remember being in an isolation hospital in 1945.Scarlet fever. Though I don't recall having been affected by the separation from mum and dad,,I do remember hitting a child in the bed opposite.For what reason,I don't know,,other than perhaps I was looking for someone to blame for me being there.
