Augustine Wilcox [standing far left] with Petworth Bowls Team Petworth, Sussex - late 1930s - ref w348 - further image below "The man standing at the LH end in the pinstripe suit was my grandfather Augustine Wilcox. He was head forester on the Petworth estate and lived in Pound Street. I attach a photo of him holding me when aged one, ie.in 1940. His appearance in both pictures is so similar, and he even seems to be wearing the same suit!"

Augustine died there on Boxing Day 1942, soon after which the family moved away. I stayed there during WW2 with my mother while my father was away fighting. The bomb on the school was probably the nearest I came to the war although I don't remember it at all. Your pictures of this were fascinating; I had only heard tell of the event until I found your website."   Bowls Club photo "The man standing at the LH end in the pinstripe suit was my grandfather Augustine Wilcox. He was head forester on the Petworth estate and lived in Pound Street. I attach a photo of him holding me when aged one, i.e. in 1940. His appearance in both pictures is so similar, and he seems to be wearing the same suit!   I hope this is useful."   Joe Wilcox     click here to return - - go to page 1 of this set - - Vintage Trail index
