Robert & Elsie circa 1975-ish
Mel wrote" Born 1902 joined the army but lied about age so must have joined
about 1918, dont know how long he was in but know he went to Egypt. he must
have married about Jan 1926 so presumably out of the army then. I understood
he was on the reserve that was why he was called up in 1939. somewhere inbetween
he was supposed to have worked as a brewers drayman but then he worked for British
Celanese at Spondon when war broke out. Bob found an old police record of him
being fined for riding his bike without a light. He used to cycle from Beeston
where we lived to Spondon"
