Anything Like A Scout

28 Feb 2025 3 4 32
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: ANYTHING LIKE A SCOUT - trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and/or reverent. I have no idea if this young girl had any of those scout-like virtues - but I'm posting it on a purely visual hunch. Found photo from a house bordering the Bristol, Vermont green that was having an estate sale, probably about 15 years ago. She is currently unidentified, but I'm hoping to identify her this year at the Bristol Historical Society. I'm guessing this was taken sometime in the 1940s.

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "The passage of time". This photo (taken by my mother) shows the front room in her family's London flat, 1948. One of those timeless rooms that remained exactly the same for decades. It also had a glass fronted cabinet and a piano. The clock had Big Ben chimes. Taken in 1948. 79 Seymour Road, Leyton, London.

My Dad squinting into the sun. Early 1940s, Kasfareet, Egypt. He was in the RAF. Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Egypt." And, sheesh... guess this is the month of featuring my father for this group! He was stationed in Kasfareet for the duration of the war.

Written on the back: "Yours Truly" on "Tilly the Toiler" This was my mother's last sort of serious boyfriend - before meeting my Dad. Jock Cameron was a tobaccionist on Brighton Front - she met him in the Navy. She told me his room-mate played Simon Templar on the radio series. Jock eventually emigrated to Australia or maybe South Africa.

Pat King, soon to be Pat Draudt, is escorted by her Dad, Harry King, to the Congregational Church in Springfield, Vermont. Probably Agnes King behind her holding the veil. Not exactly apple blossom time, more like mud-season. Better viewed large.

Ronnie King 1941

I think Ronnie was enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy at this time, so maybe this was taken when he was home on leave. A companion photo to this one: Joanne at 19
