Nat, Sylvia and Alf
One service that contributed much to the safety and well being of the entire nation during WW2 was that of the St.Johns Ambulance Brigade.
A purely voluntary service, they were ever in demand during the Blitz and were reponsible for saving thousands of lives.
My sister-in-law Sylvia, married to my brother Mick, belonged to a family that had a unique association with St.Johns as the photograph above clearly shows.
On the left is her brother Nat, centre is Sylvia and right is another brother Alf who in later life was to become a high ranking officer and much honoured for his life time service.
Well done St.Johns !
