This is a photo of my sisters and myself. From left to right Audrey, Irene, Margaret, Elsie and Doreen Hall.

We lived in William Lee Street Miles Platting during the war.

My dads brother Jack and his wife May Hall lived across the road with their family. My dads sister Elsie and Jim Reynolds lived in Higham Street with their daughters Vera and Elsie. Also Edith Nicklin lived in the same street.

Myself, Elsie and Margaret went to Nelson St. School. My other sisters were too young.

As years went by we moved to 193 Ridgeway Street Miles Platting.
