Grandad

I spent several summer school holidays in Didcot with my mate and grandad,
he lived in Newlands Avenue with my Uncle Bert. Grandad ran the bar in the army camp. He used to send me round to wake up the men first thing. The man in charge was a Sergeant Biggs. Mum worked in the post office where she met Dad, who was stationed at Harwell.
Grandad would come to Hertford by train and return to Didcot so I could spend
my 6 weeks with him. My uncle owned several cars, there was an XK 140 or E Type outside the house from time to time. Grandad's name was Mr A A Attwooll. Does any body remember him?
Regards,
T R A Johnson
