This clock was my grandfather's. He was a pilot in WW2, and this was his travel alarm clock. I have a photo of him from a tent billet somewhere in Africa with it by his bedside.

When he died I inherited it, and it was by my bedside in my teenage years. I liked that I could see the time in the night by the glow.

Little did I know why it glowed.

Please excuse the poor photo, taken with flash.
