Where in the world?
« on: Sunday 15 April 12 20:47 BST (UK) »
I inherited a great deal of photographs from my great Aunt Dorothy Voysey, I know she travelled a great deal, and from the photos can see that she was well liked.  However I have told that pictures I have of a big house in Maidenhead.  I wonder if anyone would know the house in the picture and maybe the people (it has been known - wishful thinking say many).  Maybe someone could indentify the uniform of the man in the photo? The third photo of my great aunt with nursing colleagues, I have been trying to find out the name on the gate which ends with ...sola. I do hope someone can help with these photos. regards Trish

Hi,

The uniform looks like RAF;  wings over the pocket?

Hi Trish :)

I'm reliably informed - definitely an RAF pilot, and the house is 1930's.

Regards,

The house could have been used as a recoup for WW2 war wounded or hospice? It doesnt help not knowing where the is exactly! I was hoping that I would be able to track my great Aunt through her nursing records. Thank Trish
