Grandad Macnamara

My grandfather, Trevor Macnamara was a GP in the west of Ireland during WW2. He had to use his bicycle (which you can see in this photograph) to cover a vast area and save his petrol allowance for emergencies only. From Ann Kelly

Children in Battersea 75 years ago

Doris Macdonald

(great great aunt) – the youngest daughter in the family. From Mr Bevan

Doris Macdonald

– joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service (Wrens). She is on the right in the front of the photo showing a team of Wrens shifting a torpedo probably due to be loaded onto the nearby moored submarine. From Mr Bevan

My Great Grandfather lunchbox & canteen picture from Lucas Wedderburn-Clark 6S

Ron Macdonald

(yes I have just realised that my great great uncle was named Ronald Macdonald) – joined the army when he reached 18 and then served in Norway. From Mr Bevan

Great Grandad Joyce

started as an Able Seaman and rose to the rank of Petty Officer (Writer) by the end of the war. From Mr Bevan

Kathleen and James McInness wedding in 1943 (Henry Hanson 1S)

Allen Macdonald

(great great uncle on my grandma's side)– served as a sub-mariner and went out to Australasia so was probably still heavily in active service on VE-day because, as you know, VJ-day (Victory in Japan) didn’t happen until months later. From Mr Bevan

Frank Bevan

(my other great grandad) was a registered Conscientious Objector and under normal wartime circumstances would either have been sent to work in the coal mines, or to join a medical/first aid team, or spend the war in prison. However, he was in a ‘reserved occupation’ – he was a teacher (it's a family tradition) in an Approved School (today would be called a Young Offenders Institution) and so he was needed where he was. As well as teaching during the day he had regular fire-watching duties at the school at night. From Mr Bevan
