July 7, 1945. Jill, my mother's best friend, was a war bride who married a man from Louisiana and emigrated to the States. They lived near New Orleans. L to R: Jill's half sister Phyllis was maid of honor, Mac's friend was best man, Jill Doe soon to be Jill McNair, Stephen McNair called Mac and Jill's cousin, Joyce, was the bridesmaid. Poor Joyce had to wear a dress that was far too short and small altogether (Jill wrote to my mother) but it was the war and it was all she could get. My mother was not able ot attend as she was still in the WRENS.
