I'm Fred, Alf Taylors brother,as my brother said it was the best years of our lives & when it came to going back to london we didn't want to because we were so happy in Brent Pelham.I stayed with Mr & Mrs Bailey she was like a second mother to me & their 3 daughters Janet, Violet & Daphne.Does anyone know what became of them? Are they still living in the Village? I remember Squire Barclay on our way to church he would say "come on lads"I used to pump the organ when I was older for a couple of pennies.
I remember the Italian prisoners living in the village one in perticular he made me a ring from aeroplane glass with colour bits, wrapped it in tissue paper &
gave it to me I never forgot him.
Looking at the site has brought back many happy memories for me.
I was wandering if there are any school photos around that were taken in the war years?
