I have a vague memory that during during WW2 in September children had time off from school (half day a week) to gather Rose Hips. These were taken to centres from where they went to the factories to make Rose Hip Syrup for the under 5's. It being an excellent source of Vitimin C at a time when fruits were scarce. Can anybody put more flesh on the bones or correct if wrong.
