With our spirits uplifted
Clarence my aunt Yvonne and I began preparing for the big Easter Monday kite
flying day. Only to receive a letter
from my mother Aunt Gertis stating that she wanted us to spend Easter with her
in New Amsterdam. The next couple days was now spent preparing for the long
journey to New Amsterdam.
We boarded the train in
Georgetown, Lamaha Street in Cummingsburg to begin the trip New Amsterdam.
To our amazement and joy as
boys we were in the same compartment with two British soldiers.
Guyana the then “British
Guiana” was a sovereign colony of England.
The British army sent soldiers to help squash the unrest and riots and
return to country to a state of peace.
Between strained snips of
conversation we got to know the English soldiers. They proved to be a savior to
us after the train made one of its major stops at Mahaica. At this stop we are
allowed to leave the train to stretch our feet and buy food and stuff.
