Like so many wartime sweethearts, they wanted to be married quickly, as no one knew just how long they had together, either because of limited leave, or because there was the ever present threat of injury or death. Even here in Penzance we were not safe from bombs and incendiaries. My father had special leave to come home and marry. Hitler missed me by a margin a number of times. My mother lived at 7 Colinsey Road, while my father was away. This picture at Treweath Road.
