Image ID 7825 July 1945 Love to Daddy from Tony (Anthony Lawrence 9.5 months) Anthony Lawrence Hall - Tony - was born to Louise Phyllis (nee Papps) and George Albert Hall on October 10th 1944 at 6:30. At the time his father was with the British Army in India so I imagine this photograph was commissioned to be sent to George who may not have seen him before then. The birth was registered in Bristol so I assume it was near Pucklechurch to which Phyllis, Bob and Dorothy had been evacuated.
Image ID 8588 July 1945 George Edmund, Robert Herbert, Louise Phyllis, Anthony Lawrence and Dorothy Hall. Tony was the youngest of four siblings.
From a letter dated July 16th 1945, from 43 Thorpedene Gardens, Shoebury, from George Edmund Hall to Margaret Patricia Smith - "Young Bob and the Baby are have a grand time here too. It is only a few hundred yards to the beach and although Bob is not a swimmer yet he goes in the water and has great fun on the sand, he is as brown as a berry and thin as a rake, ? from his colour and muscle he could easily be taken for a refugee from Buchenwald. The baby also is brown but has plenty of flesh - the proud mother announces his weight as 21 lbs, he also has two teeth, says 'Mum, mum' and 'Dad, dad' and various other things under the general heading of 'goo', has an appetite like a growing gorilla, bashes the piano with gusto and likes to listed to classical music on the wireless, in all he is of course by far the most perfect specimen of babyhood that ever was."

JO is Johanna Ogden mother to George Albert Hall and grandmother to GEH, DH, RHH, and ALH. Jo (far left) was the grandchild of her sister, Rachel Mary Ogden, and grew up with GEH almost as a sister.
DAP is Dorothy Adelaide Papps (Auntie Dolly) who married BB who is Benjamin Boniface. Their son David might be in this picture.
HP is Herbert Papps brother of Louise Phyllis and Dorothy Adelaide Papps. MP? if correct would be Maureen J Papps Herbert's Daughter. I could have this all wrong: in which case the next best option is Edmund George Papps (for whom GEH was named) and his daughter Ivy Stella.
AES is Alice E Stegall wife of Robert Papps[RP] (great uncle Bob and aunt Alice)
JBF (not certain about this but she was alive in 1949) is Jesse Blanche Frewer wife of Herbert Papps (Senior - who died in 1930 long before this photograph) and mother to Edmund George, HP LPP and DAP.
AVR is Alan Victor Roberts - the Groom. DH is Dorothy Hall - the Bride. The Best Man looks like a brother to AVR and to his right is perhaps their father.
LPH is Louise Phyllis Hall nee Papps: mother of the Bride, GEH, RHH and ALH. Sister to RP, HP, DAP and Edmund George Papps.
RHH is Robert Herbert Hall: GEH is George Edmund Hall: ALH is Anthony Lawrence Hall - brothers of the Bride.
GAH is George Albert Hall: father of the Bride, GEH, RHH and ALH.

From Steven
Do you remember when Churchill died and when the Beatles Helped you on a Ticket to Ride to Yesterday? Then you'll remember 1965. Mum has transferred some old cine-films onto DVD and I've put them on YouTube. So you can now remember all those old faces and all those old hairstyles (or maybe just all that old hair).
There are two sets of clips and please note there's no sound on any of the clips.
