When I was a young boy, eight years of age in 1946, this was my first recollection of Oliver. He used to visit my great aunt (Florence Palmer née Tailby) with his wife Lucy (sister to Florence). At Christmas, my parents and grandparents used to play cards with Oliver and his wife for pennies and halfpennies. The game generally played was Newmarket.
Occasionally I would visit ‘The Yews’ in Kettering Road, Burton Latimer. It was a grand house with a large garden. Oliver, or Uncle Ollie as he was known to me, lived there with Lucy and Ron Palmer and his wife Margery. Ron was the son of Albert and Florence Palmer. I was told that Oliver paid for Ron to be educated at Kimbolton School.
