My daughter Melody loves to draw with me. I think I will start drawing more. I really enjoy spending time with her. The above drawing is of my Great Grandmother: Winifred Josephine Melson. She was married to Robert Hartland Stanley Myles. Such a beautiful looking Burmese women.
For years we were told that my Great Grandmother took her own life. Committed suicide. It was a total lie. Thanks to Facebook, Michelle Melson found me, and informed me my Great Grandmother actually remarried. Pretty sad that my Nan spent her life thinking her mother was dead, which resulted in her living her childhood in State Care.
My Nan's Letter
Questions? Why did Nan's mother - Winifred Josephine Melson - abandon her children and remarry?
Was it because of her racist mother-in-law?
Did Social Services lie to the children and tell them their mother took her own life?
Did Winifred's new husband refuse to take the children?
Why did she never try to get in contact with the children? So many questions!

My lovely Nan, Sybil Stanley Myles (Whitehead). A real children's heroine. She gave us the childhood she never had. Nan also got in debt helping children all around the world, because she knew full well that the State Child Care System was broken. Debt paid back.
Nan also helped save the £1. A real credit to the UK!

ON PARADE
ON PARADE
On Parade chronicles the attempts of Straits Settlements Eurasian men to take responsibility for the defence of the British Empire, both at home and abroad, over a period of nearly a hundred years. From the original refusal to allow Eurasian men to enlist at all, through the expectation on the part of the Crown of absolute loyalty for very little material gain, Eurasian men volunteered, and were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, for the noble goal of defending their home and families. This book paints a picture of Singapore’s established Eurasian community, drawn from the Straits Settlements and Malaya. They strove to defend what they considered to be their only home. Intrinsic civic-mindedness is evinced in this social history of the Straits Settlements Eurasian Volunteers.
Guest-Of-Honour: Mr Teo Chee Hean
Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security, Singapore.
