1948 – Dad as ‘Jack the Lad.’ I imagine him posing whenever he could.1949 – Dad with hair A favourite – I’m guessing Dad would’ve been about 25-30 in this photo, so approximately 1949-1954.1927 – Dad, aged 3 Dad, approximately 3 years of age, 1927.1929 – Dad and balloon Dad as a boy and with a balloon, around the age of 5 so 1929.1942 – Dad skinny A favourite – Serving in the army and posted to India, here’s a young photo of Dad, around 1942.1942 – Dad, skinny with a fag on Another photo taken while Dad was in the army, looking very thin.1974 – Dad and Bet in the sea Dad and Bet in the sea, Rustington. I reckon around 1974.1928 – Dad and David on a blanket Dad with his cousin David on a blanket and in a garden?1928 – Dad and David Dad with his cousin David, approximately 1928.1936 – Dad and Gran A favourite – Dad walking along the beach road with Gran in what I think is Littlehampton/Rustington in 1936, making Dad 12 and Gran 36 years old.1938 – Grandpa, Gran and Dad Grandpa, Gran and Dad, walking along what looks like a beach road in 1938.1946 – Dad, Gwen and Reg This is Dad with Gwen and her newly-wed husband, Reg.1943 – Dad in uniform A favourite – Dad in his army uniform and I think when he was around 19 years of age, so 1943.1948 – Dad lawn mowing Dad, mowing the lawn with a fag on. This looks like a garden in New Malden but I can’t be sure.1929 – Dad on a donkey Another cute photo of Dad as a little boy, on a donkey at the beach. I don’t know but it might have been Littlehampton.1938 – Dad – so smart at 14 A favourite – Dad, super smart in his suit, at the age of 14.1942 – Gran, Dad and Grandpa Dad in his uniform between Gran and Grandpa.1936 – Grandpa and Gran on the beach Grandpa and Gran on the beach in 1936, possibly Rustington or Littlehampton again.1938 – Gran, Grandpa and Dad At the seaside, Dad with Gran and Grandpa. Taken in 1938, putting Dad at 14 and Gran would have been 38.1950 – Guilford Cathedral I’m unsure about this photo other than I know it includes Gran and Grandpa. I don’t even know a year so I’ll guess by looking at other photos of Gran that this will be about 1950.1938 – Gwen and Dad A favourite – Aunty Gwen and Dad in what looks like a family portrait session around 1938.1937 – Gwen, Gran and Dad Aunty Gwen, Gran and Dad walking along a street in 1937.1936 – Gwen, Gran, Grandpa and Dad on the beach Gwen, Gran, Grandpa and Dad on the beach, 1936
