was worth a lot more. So my wife Kari, who is a South African by birth, and I decided to give South Africa a shot and we now live in Fish Hoek. It is a delightful town in a valley between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, where we often see Whales close to the shore on the Indian Ocean side.
Since coming here I have started painting again, mainly portrait work and now belong to the South African Society of Artists. I have exhibited my work in various locations and sold a lot of it too. Most recently my work was one of 40 out of 125 selected for display at the Hermanus Fyn Arts Exhibition. I should also mention that I did a portrait of Colonel John Hayter, late of the Royal Green Jackets and he has said he’d get it hung in Davis Street.

The next Green Jacket portrait I’d very much like to do would be of Maj Gen ARD Pringle – so if you are reading this General Pringle, please get in touch Sir.

The caption should have read John Kelly and Wife Allison and not ‘Kayley’. Our apologies for any embarrasement caused.
‘Kayley’ (pictured above) is the neice of Douglas Bond. She sang tunes of the war time era, dressing and performing them perfectly.
This photo is not of Major John Howard’s cousin Derek Chivers but of Sam Langford, a D-Day veteran and one of the Oxford branch’s oldest but most enthusiastic members.
