The pic ofthe train crossing Princes Dk Bridge, I stood exactly where the photogragher stood as a 14yr old in 1946 , as the trains full of U.S. troops going home came across going to the Landing Stage . They were issued with a box each on boarding those trains ,containing a days rations with all sorts of goodies & I would hang on the side & ask them for any leftovers , they soon got the message & I was overwhelmed by a cascade of half empty cartons . What Joy ! I was office-boy at the Waterloo Dock-masters Office . & used to sneak into the warehouse in the back-ground which contained stocks of peanuts for Bibby's ( Now luxury flats ! ) Ron Hamilton N.Z.

I was at om wing from 75 then actually left the big building in 1980 so probably wouldnt have known each other. My friends brother was a few years younger than us, his name was Ian Wood, do you remember him?
