I posted a pdf document with my memories of being at Leckford Camp in 1958 and 1959. These are additional photos to that document. If you were there, and my effort brings a tear to your eye, I’ll let you into a little secret:There’s one in my eye as well…

I think his name was Doug Creer and I think he had some beautiful daughters!

Probably 1957 when we were on holiday. I recognise several people, only know a couple though, Jack and Connie Dodd. Mother and I are on the right.

Hi Colin, the picture of Jill and Joyce did bring a tear to my eye. Jill is my late mother. Did you know them? I would love to hear some stories about life back then, I know my mum had an idyllic childhood and I have some memories of the cottage in Leckford before my Grandmother passed away many years ago.
I think the paddling Pool picture is my uncle and mother.
I wonder if you knew my grandfather Les as well?
