Lajla Holland

Isn't she cute, it's Eddy and me, before we left Holland I had just turned 7, who would have thought then of my families hard coming up journey.

This was my best friend in Holland, I can remember loving being with her, she lived across the road from my Oma, my Dad's Mum. Not long after this photo she was crushed against the tree behind us by a tank.
In the background is an Army base. I can remember hearing many a tank, you have to remember that it was not long after the 2nd World War and there was still a lot of activity.

This is my beautiful Mum and Dad when they were engaged in 1941
