    got heap of em to scan in.  Dark horse my old fella, nobody knows a thing about the first 30 or so years of his life.  from what i've found out so far, he ran away from home (Amble) at 13/14 (1931) ended up in glasgow, was possibly on a puffer for a bit and then jobbing around the boats/harbours on the west coast for a few years, then ended up in the army, 5 years as a POW (rear guard dunkirk) then clyde/west coast again till about 1950ish

    my ma knows virtually nothing prior to them getting together in '52 apart from the odd snippet.  He'd still buy old postcards right up till he died but for no other reason than "I went there once" and say no more.  The above info I got from his little sister just after he died 3 years back, she knew a bit as he'd send money back to her in amble
