Dad & Mum Painting by Amelia

With Uncle Stanley outside Doreen Austin's house in London.

No caption needed. The picture says it all.

Uncle Stanley third from the left with family L-R : Cecil, Douglas,(U.S), Michael, Lillian and Jimmy.

The famous Rita, Uncle Stanley, my mother, Aunty Lil, a friend, and Uncle Jim. The trophy must have belonged to Uncle Stan: was this the night he was voted the handsomest man in Mussoorie?

Uncle Stanley was an ace on the bongos.

Uncle Stanley holding up his niece for the camera.

The little boy to the left Uncle Stanley, and probably Uncle Doug next to him.

Uncle Stanley challenging one of the stone lions in Hansi.

Picnic in Hansi garden. Nellie the station wagon peeping from behind the tree. L-R : Kuthar Bux the bearer, Mary, Uncle Stan, Aunty Kay, Lilly.

Picnic - Mary to the left, Aunty Sylvia, Mary's mum Ada, Aunty Kay,Robie Chatterjee, unknown lady, Uncle Stan and ,probably, Romula Chatterjee.

Young and carefree

Sikander Hall dining room. Predatory nieces waiting for wedding cake, Mary's mum Ada, Uncle Stan.

L-R: Uncle Albert, Uncle Douglas in front of him, my mother (Aunty Lillian), Uncle Stan in front of her - not sure about the ladies.

A pukka gentleman.
