Betty Bentley - all ready to go home after evacuation
This 'story' A4423033 is just to show the photograph taken of me - Betty Bentley as I was - in 1940 when I was returning from about six months of an evacuation to Brighton. I was returning to Thornton Heath.
Notice how the machine automatically recorded my weight at 3 stones and 2 pounds.
I was wearing my gas mask - over a jacket that was plenty big enough and no doubt intended to last for many years.
