Robert and Caroline in front of their rented house on Southside road. This is where my grandparents lived before moving to the house on Stamp's Lane. I believe the children (left to right) are Derek, Bob, John and Dave. I'm not sure why Maurice doesn't appear in this picture. Notice that david is wearing one of his father's rowinf medals on his shirt. Circa 1942. |

Robert with children (clockwise from top) Derek, Maurice, and Dave. "John" is written on top of Dave in the picture, but I think this is an error, as everyone always said Dave could be identified by the perpetual frown he wore (He cheered up later!) Circa 1941. |
