This is my mum Violet Kingham’s (nee Mead), story she dictated it in the 1980’s. She said she did not want it published until she was ‘long gone’, most of the small pictures in the text (or underlined text) link to more detailed pictures she left in her albums.
Mum was born in Wiggington, Herts on the Chilterns in 1905, her first memory was about the time this picture was taken February 13th 1909
