Though not shown on there Edmund Street my wife spent her early years there and went to Byegate Nursery then Quay School then Cleqwell.
She was born in Newmarket at a maternity unit there.
The first 3 years of her life she lived with her parents and grandparents at York Cottages, Newmarket.
Her grandfather was serving at RAF Bury St. Edmunds as a Flight Lieutenant at the time.
Strangely enough my late older brother was stationed at RAF Bury St. Edmunds in 1969 - 70 as Electrician (Ground) he demobbed years later at RAF Lossiemouth as a SAC Electrician (ground)
In 1946 my late mother was demobbed near Bury St. Edmunds at RAF Mildenhall as a LACW Flight Mechanic (Engines)
When she was 3 years old my wife and her parents moved to 72 Edmund Street, Hebburn.
Her father was born in Bede Buildings, Hebburn and her mother born Lavery Street Bill Quay.
My wife's younger brother born 72 Edmund Street demobbed a few years ago as Lieutenant Colonel RHA Alan Durrant MBE (he got his MBE as a Major in Operation Telic in Iraq) he joined up from school as a Bombardier in the RA and went through every non commissioned rank then commissioned as as a Captain then Major then Lieutenant Colonel.
Anyone going straight in a commission would go Lieutenant, Captain, Major then Colonel.
So segregation still exists in the forces even today so you can see who went straight in on a commission and who worked their way up the hard way.
