An ‘ordinary’ war wedding at Prestatyn. Private Edward Albion George (Geoff Charles’ brother-in-law) and his bride Gladys face an uncertain future. For service wives, married life was not always the fairytale they expected and they often faced a long period of separation after the wedding day as the bridegroom returned to the front line.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Pictures of Interest, and we'd love to have this added to the group! God love them for the courage they showed by simply "getting on with it" and trying to make the best of things in those times. What a very 'touching' picture.

Very often where there was a shortage of agricultural labourers soldiers training locally would help out during harvests. Pictured here are soldiers based in Montgomeryshire taking a break during potato harvesting at Llwydiarth.
