Winifred Moira Bailey John, my mother, sister of Hilda and James
I would estimate the date to be around mid/late 1943 My mum and dad met and married in India ( he was in the Welch Regiment) and in one of her many letters - they left India on 1. March 1943. My brother was born in Wellington, India in September 1942 and that would fit with his size and appearance here..!
