Reluctant soldier

Albert Miller writes ....

 I went to Dorchester Grammar School in Culliford Road.  They were normal school days and my parents gave up a lot to get me educated.

During the war I was called up and went into the Leicestershire Yeomanry as a very reluctant soldier.   After the war I came home and worked at the Dorchester Brewery for 14 years and then joined Edwards and Keeping as an accountant for several years.   I worked as an accountant for several firms until I retired.

In my early years I enjoyed football and cricket.   There have been so many changes in Dorchester over the years and  just went with the flow.  I was a member of the Dorchester Conservative Club for many years.
