Herefordshire memories
The New Bridge
I remember this as The 'New Bridge', it was huge and posh compared to the beautiful Old Bridge which was still in full use with 2 way traffic. I don't know if it still is as it is about 10 years since I visited Hereford but will be visiting soon!!

The Stolen Baby
I was a soldier at Bradbury Lines when this happened.
The Father of the baby was our Troop Lieutenant ...Richard Vincent.
He was a lovely man and well liked by we boy soldiers.
We never saw him again....no doubt he was given a long spell of compassionate leave.
But 30 years or so later he had risen through the ranks to be Field Marshall Sir Richard Vincent and was in charge of NATO !
I have very fond memories of my three years in Hereford.....drinking scrumpy at sevenpence a pint.....boating on the river....we guarded the Queen when she visited in (about) 1957.....she was going to the Cathedral for some reason.

Boarding school
I went to the St Vincent's Convent as a boarder for a couple of years. Some of the photos I have seen I do recall. I now live in Australia and wonder what happen to the school and the convent. The School was St Francis of Xavier.

Man on a bike
The man riding his bike in the foreground of the photo is my father, Albert William Smith, aged about 40. The building on the left is All Saints Church.
