Religion
On the top of our lockers there was a label saying who you were and your service number and, in addition, what was your religion. If you said Protestant that was not allowed and would be changed to Church of Scotland or Church of England. If you said Catholic, that was OK. But if you stated that you were an atheist you had to prove that and very few were accepted. There was one atheist in our flight and, when we went to padre’s hour, he had to go and sit in the camp library. The padre persuaded him to join the rest of us in his office but the padre’s hour then usually became a discussion between him and the padre which the padre seemed to enjoy more than instructing us. More about religion later.
