14AOD in Glinde

After V.E. Day, 14AOD moved to Glinde, near Hamburg, to handle returned ordnance. This is a series of informal pictures which I presume was taken in Glinde, as some of the men are wearing medal ribbons for the 1939-1945 and France & Germany stars. We see only five of the members of the band here. These correspond to the quintet heard on one of the recordings and a photo - to be published here later - of the band in performance. I believe these photos were included with letters home from Don to his wife Eileen. Where applicable, I have included the notes he made on the back.





3 Stooges (Arthur - Teddy - DJM)
(Wipe that smile off your face!)


3 Stooges again.
(I'll let you have a better one when we make an enlargement)



3 Heroes.
(That's Denis in the middle - bless his little 'eart)



Inseperables



Just reading through one of your letters here
(That's Eileen in the picture on the window sill.)
