  • I was there in 1943 and what is described here is heaven whereas when I was there it was hell. The war, was still on.
    Matron was Mrs Davis I think.

  • Maurice, I found these photos amongst my parent’s things. Both have passed now. I hope they brought back memories of our time together at the chestnuts home. I vaguely remember all in the photo. So long ago now.

    All the best,
    Laraine

My older sister Rena is is in the second row sitting on a chair 3rd from left. We are also in the outdoor photo.
