FEPOW Welfare Fellowship - biannual reunion weekend: November 2018

On Saturday 3rd November, Meg Parkes visited Llandudno to join the FEPOW Welfare Fellowship at their biannual reunion weekend.

Meg was delighted to meet with Judith Provis, daughter of FEPOW Charles Peall (one of Meg's early interviewees) and the group’s president, FEPOW Bob Hucklesby from Poole in Dorset (who Meg interviewed in 2014). Bob was stationed in Singapore and up on the railway in Thailand.

We would like to say a big thank you to everybody who donated to our Crowdfunder campaign on the day. With your support we are now just £2,195 off our stretch-target.
