These 33 pages of notes were written in 1992. Mum was under residential care at Lister House, a small private institution run by Peggy Lister, an old nursing acquaintance.
The notes are on loose lined sheets torn out from some exercise book. In them Mum reminisces about her childhood, employment "in service" (i.e. as a household servant) during her teens, and her early nursing career.
As can be seen from Mum's handwritten page numbers on the page images, she organized them in three batches of 10, 16, and 7 pages. There is no obvious reason for the break between Batches One and Two. Probably Mum just stopped writing for a while, then took it up again. Batch Two ends with the outbreak of war in 1939. Batch Three, however, is not a wartime narrative, only more reminiscences of her family and childhood.
