Jeays-7
I have not added anything as yet. (connect-a-thon exhaustion).
But this family has relevance to my parents meeting during World War Two.
My Mother worked as a servant for the Jeays family (life long friendships began between the Jeays daughters and my Mother).
Whilst my Mother lived at Sandgate a certain young larrikin soldier caught my Mother's attention.
They married in 1944 at Sandgate, Queensland, Australia.
War Stories.
My father, like so many, never talked much about his war experiences. So I took note when he did.
One memory of his was being stopped from going on a plane at Port Moresby as it was too full, then watching the same plane being shot down.
Another story; In the Middle East driving an Officer who wanted him to drive through a river, Dad tried to change the course slightly as he knew the crossing and was overruled by the officer, the vehicle sank.
