Hi
I am Charlotte Hislop's second cousin. I live in Britain and never met any of her family. I knew she had been in WAVES and so it was fascinating to find this photo today when I was doing some more research on that branch of the family for my family tree. Pat

Thats great news Pat and how good is that for the Forum! I would really like to know more about about her and perhaps maybe see a photo of her too. The WAVES all looked so glamourous in their smart uniforms. I found these few items of Charlottes at a small militaria show at Foxland Farm a few years ago and i just liked them so its great to make contact with a relative. Best Regards, Tim.
