Don & Frank, Christmas 1944



Here we see Don Mackie and Frank Simpson with what must be a French family. The picture has been trimmed down so part of the manuscript on the back has been lost, but I think it reads "Bon Souvenir, Noel 1944, H.H. Sicol". Don and Frank would have been in Caen at this time and they are wearing jerkins very similar to those seen in Major Lee-Richardson's book. I presume H.H. Sicol is one of the people seen here, or a relative. It does not seem to be a very common surname; even google.fr finds very little. Pure speculation on my part, but maybe Don and Frank were billeted with this family.
