[Interview starts at ~1.2 seconds on counter]
QOD: [Today is September 11, 2010.] So, um, I’m Quinn Divens recording for the Legacy Park Tudor Initiative, Veteran’s Interview, and I am [interviewing] with my grandma Kathleen Piel right now, [at 15635 Hidden Oaks Court Carmel Indiana, 46033.] [As stated earlier, Mrs. Piel is my grandmother. Mrs. Piel is 78 years old and was born on March 31, 1932. She lived in Ireland for the duration of WWII and is a widow/ secondhand account of a WWII veteran— her late husband George Piel.]
KP: [referring to herself] Who is a widow of a WWII veteran.
[0:24:09]
QOD: So, you were in the United Kingdom for the duration of the War?
KP: No,
QOD: No,
KP: I was in Ireland.
QOD: Right I mean like in the area.
KP: I lived, I was in Ireland, during the War and we had, blackouts,
QOD: Right.
KP: There was no lights, and loud nights.
QOD: Right.
KP: And our food was rationed, and we in 1951 I went to the United Kingdom, England,
QOD: Wow.
KP: And seen a lot of the war, the buildings, and stuff, that had been bombed, seen a lot of the destruction from the bombings.
QOD: So, but you were in Ireland then-
KP: During the war.
QOD: During the war.
KP: Yes. War ended in fif-, in forty-five.
QOD: Right.
KP: And I was only twelve years old, then in 1951 I went to England and seen and heard more um of the war.
QOD: Do you remember any specific instances during the blackouts um like-
KP: Well, the reason for the blackouts was that the pilots would get confused because Ireland is so close to England that they were afraid that the pilots would think they were and England and start dropping bombs. We weren’t involved in the neutral in Ireland.
QOD: Right.
KP: And, nothing more, nothing tragic, nothing happened to us during the war, because we were neutral, but they, they wanted to make sure that we were dark at night so that pilots wouldn’t get confused and think that there was sunny for bout 300 miles and get confused and start bombing Ireland.
QOD: Were there ever any bombings?
KP: There was two, I believe they were in Dublin.
QOD: That’s where you were living, right?
KP: No, I was living in Roscommon.
QOD: Oh, Roscommon.
KP: Yeah But there was only two there was never four any there was never any damage done. So, most of the stories I, I have are from my husband.
QOD: A secondhand account.
KP: A secondhand account, however, when I went to England in fifty one—
QOD: Yeah.
KP: The houses were all that had been bombed were a lot of destruction and you would see one wall of a house and a picture on the wall and you’d see another hole in the ground with the armchair in it. There was just bits and pieces of the homes left and that would be for miles--the destruction. And there was a lot of bombing done over London because they were trying to get the main places like Scotland Yard and the east end of London where the docks were. And that’s what they were mainly after. And now the people, the people who lived in England during the war, they went to shelters every night.
QOD: Right, they had them close to their house.
KP: Yes, they had in the backyard. They went out there when it got dark and stayed out there they slept out there cause they’d be bombed at night.
QOD: Right.
KP: Then, they would get up and go to work like nothing happened. They were very brave people. And then they’d come back and do the same thing again. And if you were in London, the people that were in apartments they didn’t have the dug houses, they went to the train stations to the Underground.
[0:05:00]
KP: And that’s where they slept.
QOD: Wow, so was it loud, in-
KP: Loud?
QOD: Over in Ireland at night, even? Or,
KP: No, no we would hear them of course there weren’t anything like big things like today. They had a certain sounds to them then some of them made a whistle, and people could hear them a ways off. They had different areas watching and they would get the first glimpse of them and then so they knew that they were coming. And how far away they were.
QOD: So, you met your, um, late husband in England?
KP: Yes.
QOD: How long after the war was that?
KP: Six years.
QOD: Six Years?
KP: Yes.
QOD: And did you, was in, was he still, in the army?
KP: He was in the, the, he was in the Navy.
QOD: Navy.
KP: And you want details on him. He was in the navy during WWII and based at Portsmouth, England. He was a landing craft operator, and he took the troops over to Normandy on D-Day.
QOD: Oh, wow.
KP: And he was there on D-Day.
QOD: He was?
KP: Yeah.
QOD: Wow. Did he ever tell you about his experiences during D-Day?
Oh, yeah. They, you know, they had a rough time getting in. The weather was bad they had to several times a lot of them didn’t make it back. And, they were under attack, they were in the- they had to jump in the water before, cause they found out that they were coming, and um, so there was a lot of tragedies, a of lot of casualties, I should say. And he came
QOD: Did he suffer any injuries?
KP: No, I think, I think there were some there eighteen I don’t know how many were in his outfit, but I think there were eighteen that came,
QOD: I know that during D-day is when they came in like different stages, right?
KP: Right.
QOD: Which one was he part of?
KP: He was a landing craft operator. He might have taken over one load and then came for another. He took several trips. That was a whole different unit-the landing craft operators. They had to be trained, specially trained for that. Then they were the last ones off, to go back to take the boat back to get more people. They were going constantly.
QOD: Was that his memorable experience from the war or did he have others?
KP: Well yeah, a lot of things he told me, a lot of gruesome things. About bombings and walking in the park-
QOD: Walking in the park?
KP: Walking in the park, like in London walking in the park and an arm or a leg fell down from a tree. Human parts of bodies everywhere, they would get… there was unexpected bombs, and they wouldn’t be prepared so there was a lot of mortality then. But, that was a lot of the things he told me. When they would be on furlough, when they would be in Portsmouth--furlough is break--vacation break they call it--furlough, they would come by train up to England, that’s where all the U.S. boats come and they would come up there and when nighttime came, they went down underground too. They said people would bring blankets and robes with them, and they would tie up an area depending on how many people there was. And families would stay in their own little private area to sleep--in all the blankets. They wouldn’t have anything like that, so they would sit. Cause they came up by train and they came up train and they were going back the next day or whatever. They, um the children-
QOD: Yes.
KP: All got evacuated.
QOD: Oh.
KP: And after a certain age, I don’t know what the age was, the babies-
[0:10:00]
KP: Excuse me. Is this thing on?
QOD: Ah ha. (yes)
KP: The children were evacuated. And all of the trains took them to the southern part of England--all farm country and safe, so they were cared for and well fed, because they had all the farm milk and bread and eggs and all that so they were well taken care of. And they went to school. And that was 6 six years before some of them got back to their parents. The parents and all was glad that they were safe, but they had to continue working. They was nurses, doctors, teachers, they had to stay there, and protect their home because they weren’t there during the day they all had homes.
QOD: Right.
KP: But they just couldn’t stay in them in the night. So that was really sad for the adults, the children gone--on the trains. And of course the rationing—we all had a rationing card, even 5 years after the war!
QOD: Oh, because like,
KP: You could not buy blue jeans because all the material was needed for the troops during the war. You couldn’t buy no blue jeans cause it was all used for uniforms for the troops. You couldn’t buy panty hose or back then they didn’t have panty hose, they were singles, they called them nylons. You got two,
QOD: Individual.
KP: Individual.
QOD: Long sock.
KP: Nylon for chutes of parachutes. So they couldn’t be, um. You couldn’t get- they were rationed. Food was rationed; you got so much per person. Candy was rationed when you’d go to a movie, you had to make sure you brought your ration book, coupon to buy um, candy.
QOD: What was your favorite type of candy?
KP: Oh just the same, you know. Chocolate, and there wasn’t any restrictions on that. There wasn’t a variety, because they didn’t have ingredients. Sugar was rationed, People had to use canned milk.
QOD: Oh.
KP: For their tea, and it was sweetened, so it was the sugar and the milk, the canned milk had both in it. And, um, well the gasoline, or petrol they call it, was rationed. You got enough to get you to work. You had to say how far you had to drive and that all that you got rationed, there was no extra, extra gas.
QOD: So, what were rationing books like?
They were 4x4, booklets, and they each everyone the had to code thing and food and all the different coupons was in there, and you had to handed them to the person and they tore out what, whatever it wad you were trying to buy.
QOD: Oh, whoa. So, so you were, you were never, um, like part of the war?
KP: No.
QOD: But, um your husband, was he in the American navy?
KP: He was in the navy.
QOD: Right.
KP: And he joined the navy in ‘40, ‘42.
QOD: Right.
KP: And then in ‘43, he went to England.
QOD: Right.
KP: -With the navy. And he was there until 45, and then positioned around Washington DC, and the name of the … are… and when he completed his, then he joined the air force. And that’s when I met him.
[0:15:00]
QOD: Where did you guys meet?
KP: We met at a girlfriend’ house. She was dating another boy, and he missed the last train home, and so they called George, to come and pick him up cause he couldn’t he couldn’t get back to the base, and George had a car. So he came and picked him up, and he asked if I would go to a 3d movie with him.
QOD: Really back then?
KP: Ya.
QOD: That's so cool!
KP: And it went around, I was hanging on to him like this, I was sliding down, it was so scary!
QOD: Hahaha!
KP: [Laughter] And we went to see that. We dated after that. When he came in the street, the kids would come out of nowhere because he would bring chewing gum,
QOD: Oh.
KP: And candy, Velveeta cheese, and tuna, fish. All American stuff we’d never have.
QOD: Oh.
KP: So the moment they’d see him they’d come. Popcorn you’d make on the stove.
QOD: Oh, Jiffy Pop.
KP: Ya!
QOD: That’ so fun!
KP: Ya, when they’d see is car coming, they all wanted a ride in it. It was a big car.
QOD: Haha.
KP: So I don’t know what else of interest, oh! In the late 50’s, whenever Margaret Thatcher-
QOD: Oh! Margaret Thatcher! With the coal mining.
KP: Ya, She--the buildings--from the smoke, they were all black and ugly, and there so may other things to do that it got overlooked. So, in the late fifties, whenever Margaret was in, I don’t know, but she started the cleanup, said we’ve the cleanup, she said we’ve got to do something. She did a very good job; it was needed to be done. Then everything started to be decent again.
QOD: And those were the remains of WWII that she was cleaning up?
Yeah. Yeah, were bombed, the bombing there was, ten years after the war there was places that, yeah. Because there was so much to be done, it was like Katrina…. Disaster. They got going the town; there was still a lot of stuff that they didn’t think was important enough. They started with the hospitals and the schools, and other post offices and main things, and then they do the residents, that’s about the last thing they do.
QOD: Right.
KP: So I think that’s all I have unless there is anything specific you wanted to know.
QOD: He didn’t tell you any other stories that you’d like to-
KP: Nothing that I can think of. I remember he told me lots of stories and I wish I’d had the good sense to right them down, of course I can’t remember the fifty years later. But I remember some of the things he seen, um, I remember one story he told me. That they got stranded somewhere in France on the beach, and that they missed their craft going back. And they dug holes, in the sand. And slept in there.
QOD: In the sand?
KP: In the sand. Then, they had no food, and they would have gone to the farmhouses and steal. And also, there were some ships that they knew had food on them- they would go there to get food. They were very, very cold, and they all had problems with their feet; they always needed socks. So, when someone would pass away, the first thing people would do, people would run to get his socks; ‘cause that was the luxury to have—there was a lot of rain, as you know. And snow, and there was different kinds of weather. So, I remember him telling me that about socks. A pair of socks was a great gift.
[0:20:00]
KP: You know, to be able to have another pair of socks, to dry what was on your feet, another pair. And lots of stories that they done o survive, and um, a plane landed, dropped them supplies, after 2 months, I think it was or three months. And razor blades, and they hadn’t shaved, and when they did shave they found people that they didn’t knew, didn’t recognized because they were all in such terrible shape. You know, they couldn’t identify themselves, no haircuts, no razorblades, and, and that was a big day and then they got picked up. I think it was a couple of months that they were on there, and they for months went out at night and stole what they couldn’t survive anyway they could. And when some of the supply ships, and got stuff, they had to maybe walk several miles to get because4 the ships were embarked, is that the word?
QOD: Embargo means to stop trade.
KP: Docked! They were docked.
QOD: They were docked?
KP: A long way away, they had to walk they couldn’t get there, they went to get some food, but, they got—they were supplied with so much of food. Cans and cans. All canned food. And then no one died from starvation; dysentery was very common.
QOD: Dysentery?
KP: Dysentery is diarrhea. Bacteria, you know the dishes not being able to—
QOD: The disease was probably passed around through blankets.
KP: Ya when your immune system is down; and they all lost weight of course.
QOD: Ya.
KP: Anything else that?
QOD: Do you want to take a break and have some tea?
KP: Ya I don’t want tea I’ll have a drink of water, or something.
QOD: Ok.
[BRIEF PAUSE]
KP: There were a lot of young men in the services during the war. They weren’t, they could join up with the parent’s consent. And, some of them was as young as sixteen and seventeen years old, and they went in the service. Not until years later did they discover how, what there age was. They didn’t ask for birth certificates, they were just glad to get them to join up; I mean they had to go- they got called up. Also there was call up, and you had to go.
QOD: Like drafting?
KP: Yes. Like drafting.
QOD: You said that you knew someone like that?
KP: Yes, yes. He’s in here, no, wait, I think he’s in here. And, you know, the Texas guys were really big. They could get away with it because of their…
QOD: Stature.
KP: Look at this one, there he is. [Showing a picture]
QOD: He is really tall.
KP: Yes, he retired after twenty years in the service. And he was thirty-seven, or thirty-eight years old. And they found out from him, and they said that can’t be, you’ve got to be older than that, and then they found out there were several, several others from Texas, I remember that.
QOD: He just wanted to join?
KP: Yes, he just wanted to join.
QOD: That’s cool.
KP: Yep, he just wanted to volunteer; he called up. He went and I think that you had to have permission from your parents, and I don’t think that they were as strict, than they, as they are now. In the time of war—
QOD: Ya.
[0:25:00]
KP: They’re not as strict. Today, of course, they learned from that.
QOD: Ya.
KP: So now, there is more control over them.
QOD: So, when you were and you were younger, would you watch- did you have a TV in your house?
KP: [Shakes head no.]
QOD: So you never saw anything about-
KP: No, radio—
QOD: Radio—
KP: Just the radio, listen to the radio all the time, that’s what everybody had, nobody had TV’s.
QOD: Nobody had TV’s?
KP: No.
QOD: Did you have a time when you would gather around the radio?
KP: Ya, and several people would come to our house to listen. Because not all of them even had a radio. We’d sit around the fireplace, and turn it off; you can’t put in on there.
QOD: Please?
KP: There was a woman breastfeeding.
QOD: Oh.
[PAUSE, BRIEF STORY, LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED BY INTERVIEWEE, NOT RECORDED.]
[0:25:29]
QOD: So, was that a nightly thing when your neighbors would come in?
KP: That would be in the early evening; the same time, the news time. During the war there was several news, you know, they were always bringing something new happening. Oh we were kept well informed through the radio stations and of course the papers.
QOD: Was there anything memorable that you ever listened to on the radio?
KP: No.
QOD: I remember hearing about a man recording live from like outside during a bombing. Did you ever listen to that?
KP: Mmmnnn. (no)
QOD: So, the radio-
KP: It was a local station but reporters reported in from the different papers and that, just like CNN, here. They have CNN and they have agents, all over. And they go to wherever; whatever’s happening somewhere. Of course it’s all done now on computer. It makes it easier to follow up on stuff. They can be on an accident, then in ten minutes, less. It would take hours back then. That was him when he joined,
QOD: Which one?
KP: Him. (Pointing) That was his petty officer.
QOD: (Reading) George, wait…
KP: -And his petty officer.
QOD: -With his chief petty officer at Great Lakes, Chicago, 1943, that’s really cool, it’s a postcard!
KP: Oh I don’t know how they do it. I mean, I got it from him, so.
QOD: That’s really cool!
KP: He was only seventeen or eighteen.
QOD: What was the age that you had to be?
KP: I think they are supposed to be eighteen. And he went back to school,
QOD: What was he studying to be?
KP: He was in high school.
QOD: He was in high school?
KP: High school. He got on the bus in Plainfield, he just left his mothers funeral. He was very close to his mother. He got on the bus to Indianapolis, and signed up, and he didn’t come back home for six years.
QOD: Wow.
KP: And when he did come home, he went back to school; he had only missed one year. He sat with them; there was no GED then.
QOD: Oh.
KP: His high school Diploma, and then went in the Air force. That’s the earliest one, and this is another young one of him, I don’t know where that’s at.
QOD: That’s cool. Who is that?
KP: Pardon me?
QOD: Who is that?
KP: I don’t know who that is. This is your mother’s favorite-
QOD: That’s cute.
KP: I don’t know where it was taken. Up in Chicago. That’s George.
QOD: Can I read it?
KP: Yes it’s nothing related I’ve tried to read it. I think it’s an address. That’s very important there.
QOD: What is it?
KP: Portsmouth, it’s a dock.
[0:30:00]
QOD: In England?
KP: In England, that’s where he was stationed. That’s where all the landing, the navy was at. That’s where all the landing crafts took off from.
QOD: This was taken during the war?
KP: Yes. Well yeah, taking all the troops over during the war.
QOD: Right, was this scanned?
KP: (Nods)
QOD: Those are really cool. Which one’s your favorite?
KP: My favorite? Well I like, I think I like this one,
QOD: Yeah, me too.
KP: Now, do you want to take copies of them, your mom said she was going to scan them.
QOD: Well, yeah.
KP: I don’t know if you’d want to do that one or not, but it shows,
QOD: Oh yeah, that one.
KP: -The navy at Portsmouth. I wish that was. I was so happy to find that one.
QOD: Ya that one’s really cool. I like that one, it really gives it character, it showed them what they really like to do. Thanks for showing me those.
KP: I took them out of this, where is Chloe, what is she doing? I wanted her to see this.
QOD: I don’t know what she is doing.
KP: I wanted her to see this, to see the album. There are some pictures; well you saw the old ones of your mom.
QOD: So, when he was in the air force, well, that was the only war you knew him during?
KP: That’s the only war. Now, the Korean War started,
QOD: Right.
KP: Well he wasn’t in that it was 55.
QOD: Right.
KP: However, Vietnam came up. And, he was due to be sent somewhere. He got orders, he was only he was only guaranteed a certain amount of time back in the states.
QOD: Right.
KP: Until he got a new assignment, and his assignment was Hickam Air Force Base, in Hawaii, which is the number one base that everyone wants to go to, naturally.
QOD: Oh.
KP: So he said, I’m not going to take it.
QOD: Why not?
IKP: said, you can’t be serious, he said yes, I am, He said I’ve been there before, and after you’ve been there a couple of weeks, there’s nothing to do. And he says, everything is very expensive because everything has to be imported. He says, they got pineapple and beer, but everything the milk and the clothes comes by boat. He says I don’t want to go. So he says, I have another reason. And I said, well what’s that? In the air force you reenlist every time, a few years at a time. Well his enlistment was about to run out, so he would have to reenlist again. Enlist, for six years. And Vietnam was going on. And a friend of his, his was wife was from Japan, and he got orders for a base in Japan, and they were out of their minds, oh, they were so excited. He had to up his enlistment order to get the time to cover this. And after he done that, they changed his order and he went to Vietnam. They can do that; change your orders- as long as you’re not in the process of doing it. And, that’s what George was afraid of, he wasn’t very pleased with that one, it wasn’t a very popular war with the troops. And he says—
Keegan Divens**: When’s Ron coming?
KP: I’m not going to do the enlistment.
KD: Ow.
KP: He was afraid that was going to happen. He says I don’t want no part of that Vietnam War, and I don’t want you and the kids here by yourselves.
KD: When’s my mom coming?
KP: So that was the reason why, what do you want honey? Your mom’s gone to the grocery store. Have you had lunch? Has he eaten?
QOD: I don’t know. I think he had breakfast.
KP: He had breakfast?
[0:35:00]
KP: So that was the end, that’s why he retired. Lulu’s gone to the grocery store with your mom. They’re going to get two baskets full of stuff, one going to be chips and cookies, and ice cream, it’ll be the goodie basket. He looks so different with his teeth gone.
QOD: I know. So he was never part of the Vietnam War?
KP: What?
QOD: He was never part of the Vietnam War.
KP: No. That’s not where he wanted to be, and that’s probably where he would’ve ended up. And besides, they were after the older guys, because all of the Vietnam boys were young. They were after some of the older ones with more experience. They were doing a lot of things to get them, because they weren’t volunteering to go.
QOD: Right.
KD: We are supposed to make this kind of star in first grade.
QOD: Another thing I want to ask you is that you were in school during the war,
KP: Right.
QOD: Did they teach you about what was going on in the war?
KP: No.
QOD: -Because it was happening at the same time?
KP: No, we were never. Remember, now, it was catholic school.
QOD: Right.
KP: I don’t think public schools, either. The history of the war was after,
QOD: Right
KP: You couldn’t very well pre-shadow, you couldn’t talk about it, because it was still going on, they wanted the end, now its. You know what Michael*** done yesterday?
QOD: What?
KP: Well you know he’s in history.
QOD: Right.
KP: And they wanted a newspaper article from the eighteen-seventies. To see politics involved, as it is now. A lot of people say that, Oh its not a big deal, what they did, what went on between the newspapers competition wise; what they did to keep the people buying them. So he went to the state, no he didn’t go tot the state museum, there were 14 of them in his class, but they couldn’t get it, it was something about a film. It was hard to see and you had to lean sideways. So, he decided he wasn’t going to do what everybody else was doing. So. He went to Bloomington, to the IU library, and they had a much more modern setup, and he was able to get his information. It took him 4 hours.
QOD: Wow.
KP: -To find it, to get it. So they’ll all have basically the same thing except, he also went to DePauw where he first went to college, and they had some too, but it would take him forever to find it, the way they had it. So he was going to Bloomington, anyway, there was some group down there playing-
KD: Now I am all done.
KP: Two by two.
QOD: Keegan, what did you eat? Why are your lips blue?
KD: I ate M & M’s. It is 2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18-20.
QOD: So, why did you leave Ireland to go to England?
KP: [TO KD] Let me finish. The reason I left I was nineteen years old.
QOD: Right.
KP: And there was no work in Ireland, and we were making a slow recovery after the war. And I decided to and I had a friend who had gone over there, a lot of my friends went nursing.
QOD: During the war?
KP: After the war. This is in the fifties, in 1951. That’s when I went to England.
QOD: Mmhmm.
KP: That’s when I decided—
[0:40:00]
KP: --I had to go to England, to find a job. I was nineteen and I wanted to get away and do something. So, that’s when I went to England, a lot of my friends went nursing, over there their nursing.
KD: This is all in Spanish,
KP: The nursing, you are trained in the hospital. There’s no college involved, you study, then do 4 hours on the wards, the wards are, what do you call them here, rooms? The ward is the name of the room where all the patients are. So I don’t know what you call them here rooms? They are rooms. So you went in the hospital and worked in the rooms in the morning, which is the busiest time in the hospital. We were working, or the people that did it, got very little pay. Because they lived in the hospitals, in the nurses quarters, and you got just enough, your basic supplies like powder, lipstick, feminine things, so you would get all the work done in the mornings, then in the afternoon you would go study. Then at night, they would get the patients ready and take the flowers out of their rooms at night, something about the oxygen un the room. But, um, my first job was well I had two jobs. I worked in a store during the day.
QOD: Do you remember the name of the store?
KP: Woolworth’s. It was a dime store. It’s like, um, well they were around here not to long ago. Every city had it’s own Woolworth’s. It was a multimillion-dollar company. Betty Hutton owned them. Then at night. I worked at a movie theatre.
QOD: That’s cool.
KP: At night, as an usherette. And you wore a uniform. And a flashlight. You led them down the aisles, when they come in late they weren’t allowed to walk down alone. And you brought them down with the flashlight, that was my second job.
QOD: That is so cool. Did you go to movies?
KP: Yeah we went to movies, and we went dancing. Dancing was, in the fifties. The big band era. I loved, we went dancing every weekend. Every town had a beautiful dance hall, we went to London, and Glenn Miller was killed during the war, his orchestra, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Kinney played the clarinet, your dad would know if he was here. But all of the big bands cam to England because of all the dancing. It was wonderful to be in England after the war, the people were so happy, and great theater people. And instead of going out to dinner on your birthday, you would get a ticket. Like Broadway, not Broadway, Piccadilly, Piccadilly’s circus.
