Dad (far left) and two friends outside Harare Anglican Cathedral probably early 1940's



Looking thoughtful




Strange cut out of Dad at Prince Edward School, Harare, mid/late 1930's




Swimming in bilharzia free river early 1930's 





Dad, Sheila, Gran and Grandad




Grandad Gill in Scotland with Stan in a wheelbarrow. Mid 1940's





Mom around 1943




Dad I think is the kid with the tanned legs in the middle.






Granny Gill? with Anne, unknown and Mom.





Scottish Family outing. Mom is the bundle with a fur hat next to older brother Ian or Andrew. Anne is the other kid in a fur hat further back.  I am assuming that the two adults in the front are Gran and Grandad Gill.....who the rest are is anyones guess!




Dad with pooch on bike. Harare . He looks about 17. 





The Gill kids. Ian, Andrew, Anne and Mom. Mid 1930's Scotland.






The two middle kids look like Sheila and Dad with seriously tanned legs. No idea who the rest are...but the boy could be Dad and Sheila's brother who died.


Harare 1933 from the Koppie.


Dad with dog. Harare Early 1940's
