Oh dear, dear, dear! I think she looked quite calm and self possessed in the later one but of course we can never tell really. I find the picture of him as a teenager most odd! I guess if he was out at work then he might have dressed as an adult, though surely he wouldn't have done so if he had still been at school. Old photos are so interesting.

She is far too young to look so beset with worry in that first picture.<br />She looks very tight-lipped in each shot, yet does have soft features which somehow make the tension incongruous with the expressions.<br /><br />Despite not knowing much about her, you manage to know enough to keep us very interested, and more than most people do about the family history.<br />lucy joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863146546863419637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-47758496539542790012012-11-25T15:04:15.256-08:002012-11-25T15:04:15.256-08:00I'm so glad you were able to get information a...I'm so glad you were able to get information and these wonderful photos from your brother-in-law.

She is a very attractive woman, and I wonder if she was one of those who either lost the prospect of marriage or their beau in the war. A great number of women went on to live a spinster existence, either with her family or with some other in similar straights. Her eyes may indicate a loss, but also simply confidence.<br /><br />More research needed???<br /><br />MikeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-21602781760802735822012-11-25T09:01:13.239-08:002012-11-25T09:01:13.239-08:00I'm sorry, but my first impression is that the...I'm sorry, but my first impression is that they made her sit there for so long that she wet her pants and felt horrible about it, thinking, get me out of here (but then they will all find out!).

Your sweet little girl in first photo sure is filled with emotions as well. Not sure if she wanted to just let a gigantic pout or maybe break into tears.
