Cpl. Beryl Stevenson

Womens Auxiliary Air Force

from:Nottingham

Flight Sergeant Arthur Garrard

Beryl Stevenson is my mum. She became Beryl Garrard whilst serving, having married Flight Sergeant Arthur Charles Garrard in 1944. She trained in Morecambe and was then posted to Harwell as a hairdresser, where she met my dad. She was tasked to set up the hairdressing section at Harwell by going to London to order the necessary items.

When the situation changed at Harwell she was then posted to Bletchley, where again she joined the hairdressing section. My father was posted to Fulsham at the same time. They married while she was at Bletchley. After the marriage she soon fell pregnant, moved back to Nottingham, and went on to have a total of five children over fifteen years.

Sadly my father died after they had been married for just 23 years and so left a young family. My mother is still alive and has just celebrated her 97th birthday, still living in Nottingham. The picture is of my dad in RAF uniform.
