    So many memories.
    They remind me so much of the times when I was young. Their clothing, hair, shoes etc. Even the housing is the same.
    Behind green areas like this the heavy industry worked on.
    Social history is a wonderful thing to study.

    The man far left in the pale clothes is my grandfather Peter Ross Smith, he was manager of the shipyard when the Kelly was built and worked alongside Mountbatten. He received a signed letter of thanks and a signed photo from Mountbatten in 1939 (we still have them), and I have three of the flags that flew from the Kelly. He would have been approx 48 years old in that photo.

    I was thinking of something "silly" to write. But instead could only see the niceties of the event. Great image, the boys could be holding a bag of sweets?
