I suppose she's got the advantage of being closer than I am. Do you think she'd noticed if I smuggled some across here?

It was the same for many women who married a GI bride after WWII. The glamour of a nice uniform, stockings, chocolate & money they had (compared to the austerity of the UK at the time). For many didn't match the reality in the US.

Penfold :o)

No not the American GI's apparently, our good friends the Canadian Forces.

Am just reading a book by Melynda Jarratt (War Brides) it is really eye opening stuff........stories & pics of individual couples and the brides who ended up sailing to Canada to join their hubbys after demob. Not sure whether to laugh or cry..........or both at the same time!

What a terrible time some of them had, enduring the harsh weather conditions without warm clothing and ending up in remote parts without sanitation running water etc.. However lots of happy endings as well!!

According to the book Eric Clapton was the son of a Canadian soldier, his mother married another Canadian S.....went to Canada and left poor Eric in the UK!....to be brought up by his grandparents.

A good read ladies for curling up in front of the fire with!
