My Grandmother - Anne Bailey

My grandmother worked with British Railways BR during the war. She had an arrangement with her friend, Flo Bailey, that if either of them was killed the other one would see to it that they looked pretty for their funeral. (Un)fortunately the closest they came to this was when they were both chased along Rangefield Road by an escaped barrage baloon that was supposed to be protecting the local playing fields!

I have included a copy of what evidently had to pass as a birthday card from her brother Amos William "Bill" Butler. I have no idea where the picture came from!
