225584 Peggy Elsie Ludford Womens Royal Naval Service from:Portsea My mum, Peggy Elsie Ludford, born Portsea 1924, joined the Wrens during WW2 and was posted to various places such as Malta, Gilbraltar, Juno, Junta, Bombay, Calcutta, Kandy, Aden, Suez, Port Said. She enjoyed the benefits of facilities such as the Allied Air Force Club, Calcutta Swimming Club where she swam, played tennis, danced. She had several friends; Muriel, Pat, Mabel, Doris, Midge, Margery and Lucky. Her unit was in contact or worked closely with MSD1 which I have learnt was Military Supply Depot 1. Her album mentions a Joe Brandi, Charlie, Bart, Robbie, Jimmy and Sid. She has photos of Colombo and this makes me think she was involved with the Colombo and Trincomlee events. She remembered this time with much affection.
