A Childhood in WW2 Glasgow. The story of an 11-year-old boy growing up in Glasgow during and after WWII. Will the influences of his childhood stay with him forever?. Dec 1942. Robert is eleven months old. His father, killed in the war in Africa, leaves him with wee Jeanie and three siblings; John, five; Jean, eight; and Hetty, thirteen. They live in two dingy ground-floor rooms behind a working men's pub in Glasgow. This is the story of the youngster's fight for survival and dignity; recounting joys and tribulations among his peers, street gangs, bullies, drunks, paedophiles and a dead old woman in a back close. His training in a military boarding school in Perthshire augurs freedom from the degradation of the slums of his birth. But has he changed?
