Passport photos

Dad and Mum or Deb and Alice as we never called them. These are their passpost photos. Taken in early 1949 when they planned to emigrate to the USA. Had they gone through with the process we could have been born in Sacramento, Calif. instead of England. In the end mum didn't want to leave her family in England. I remember them telling me that mum was expecting me at the time and they'd sold all their possessions - even the iron and ironing board.
