SELFRIDGE
FAMILY 2849
Here we are at the home of the Selfridge family in Magherabeg
back in 1959. Just look at those fields, I just loved playing in the fields
such great times then. At the back on the left we have good old mum Elizabeth
then Molly and dad Andy.
In the front are Wilbert and I remember wearing sleevless jumper like that,
then David, John and Raymond. As you can see Raymond is wearing braces the
ones that hold up your trousers. My mother used to buy the short trousers
at least two sizes bigger to get more time out of them and the braces kept
them up.

course not least for here was the real reason Andy came home was to see his

ANDY
SELFRIDGE 2851
Having his photograph taken is Andy Selfridge a sergeant in the Enniskillen
Fusiliers.
When you look at Andy you can see the strain and stress in his eyes. The reason
for this is the photograph was taken somewhere in Italy 1944.They were fighting
the enemy in World War Two.
