In the group photo taken in front of the house a Harry Gubby is also in it as he was a friend of the family. Was he part of the family that also lived on Broadwood Road?

I'm very sorry to have received news that Alison died last week. Her contributions to Gwulo include two wartime diaries that she painstakingly typed up from the originals: the account of her father, Colin McEwan, and that of R. E. Jones.
In 2010, Alison introduced us to Mr Jones's diary:
I've recently started transcribing a diary in my family's possession [...]
How my father Colin McEwan came by it we don't know, but it turned up as we slowly went through my parents' books.

Thanks to annpake for the above biographical details for Mrs Penn, mother of Patricia and John and wife of Harry. With Mrs John Fleming and Mrs Bob Young she was stuck in Canada for 18 months while the trio were trying to return to join their husbands in Hong Kong in 1940. (see info from Bob Young cited in George Gerrard's diary, 10 April 1943)
