These are from OH's tree.
The above photo is on a postcard and written on the back it says: Best Wishes from Ben to Mother Lily and Bert Write soon The wound is on my left hand. and this one is also a photo on a postcard, this time with the photographer's details: Photo by W White, 21 Broad St, Wolverhampton and the writing says: Keep this one and I will send you an enlargement. That's me standing up. Ben. After about 20 years++ of wondering we are still stuck with who Ben is! We know who Lily and Bert are, but whilst "mother" is obviously Ben's mother she isnt their mother too. I don't know what that dress uniform is either. Oh and I forgot, who else thinks the two Ben's don't look like the same person, yet the name and handwriting seem the same!
