More 1940 Chester Photos and Documents

Here are a couple of wedding photos of Mom and Dad in 1940. My grandfather J. L. (Les) Rannie was able to get passage for Mom and himself for England.

 Left to right - The Chaplain at RAF Station Ternhill, Pilot Officer Philip Valentine King Tripe, Elizabeth Ann (Rannie) Tripe, Hilda Pickmere, John Leslie Rannie.


I can't read the signature of the Chaplain on this copy of their Marriage Certificate.

The happy couple in front of 13 Deva Terrace.

And then Mom and I went to Canada in June 1945. Here are a couple of pages from her passport with me in it. We left from Liverpool on the Scythia and landed at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We then took the train to Ottawa and met Dad after about 4 months. He had been shipped back in February 1945.
