Old Photos

Photos (some of them very old) from Dad's garage. Scanned professionally, but as yet not worked on in Photoshop, so quality will get better. Big question: WHO ARE THEY? As Dad's brother Peter says he doesn't recognize any of the old photos, one must assume they are from Mum's side of the family.

The Pig and Whistle mess in South Africa during Boer War. Granddad was a member of the Buffs, a nickname for men in the Kentish (and other county) Yeomanry Regiments. It referred to Buffalos possibly, as a result of their prior service in Africa.

Kim, Nana & baby Andrew at Fairoaks (?)
Kim adds: You, me & Nana in Spring or early summer 1952 in front of number 14/11, ??? Road, RAF Watton, nr Norwich.  This was sergeant’s quarters as it was just before Dad got his Q-Commission and went of to Malaya to work with the SAS in raking the CTs out of the forest.  I’m 4½ years and I can thank my lucky stars that I didn’t turn out gay!  Granddad must have already died and Nana lived for another ~10 years.
