dad and POWs

dad with POWsDad mentioned a couple of times that they looked after German prisoners of war before they were sent home again after the war. One of these guys is Fritz who by all accounts wrote letters and sent Christmas cards for many years afterwards. I think one of the letters exists still, but I’m not sure if I have it.

dad’s army

dads army groupGroup shot of Dad’s (insert appropriate army term here – platoon?). Dad is second on the left at the back. I’m guessing this might be the Army Pay Corps at Whitchurch. I particularly like the look of the chubby chap next to Dad.

brothers in the park

James and me in the park (probably either Bushy, or Richmond). James appears to be clutching some kind of yellow fluffy thing – almost certainly a gonk. I’m going to hazard a guess that this is around 1967, based on the fact that I’m toddling about but must surely have a nappy somewhere in those shorts.
