Wartime wedding 1945

As we head towards Remembrance Day I have decided to feature a set of photographs of the men and women who lived through the two great world wars.

This is of Graham’s uncle Tommy and aunt on their wedding day in 1945.  He served on a minesweeper in the north Atlantic.

What strikes you about these pictures is of course the number of men and women in uniform, which is I suppose is stating the obvious but nevertheless marks such images off from today.

To the left are Graham's grandparents.   Missing on this picture is Graham's mum who lived through both wars and celebrated her 100th birthday recently.
