Two shots of Jimmy Robertson in his wartime role as a dispatch rider. he was at Arnhem during Operation Market Garden (A Bridge Too Far, for the film buffs.) he used to tell us he had the fastest bike in the British Army for getting clear of the action.


The picture on the right was taken in Munster, Germany. I have no info on the other picture, but I suspect the same place.

Some wartime souveniers saved by my dad James Robertson
 From his wartime service. Not a bad meal for the year.

Baden Powell school, Cardiff, about 1950/51, Graham Robertson is in the front row, fourth from the left.

What's written on the back of these pictures suggest  they are both of Billy Cox, son of Daisy Davies.

Willows Avenue, Cardiff.

Sunday, March 24th, 1946

Raymond, Nancy, Audrey, Elsie and Jim

The back of the picture says it's Jim Robertson, but I don't think so, it's more likely to be Clyde Barrow. It's a left hand drive, personally I think it's a joke unless of course it's the mysterious Charlie. Any suggestions?

 

More urchins this time with Elsie Robertson and an unknown woman. I think it is in Ely,
Cardiff.

I have no idea who this lot are....answers on a postcard please.... 

Graham Robertson on the right with two others....

Another bike for Graham
