Hi All
I was a Telegram Messenger Boy at Stafford Post Office, I started in April 1939, there were five Telegram Messenger Boys at Stafford P.O. we were known as the 5 'B's'
Their names were:-
A.BLAKEMAN (ARTHUR)
F.BUCK (FRED)
T.BROOKSHAW (TOM)
A.BEAVER (ALBERT)
H.BAILEY (HAROLD)
Blakeman went to the Postal side, Buck left the Post Office & went to the Electricity Board as Beaveer also did
Brookshaw left the service, and I went onto the Post Office Engineering Department as a youth in training, leaving in 1987 what became B.T. as a A.E.E ( Assistant Executive Engineer) after 48 years service.
Buck & Beaver went into the Royal Navy during WW2,Blakeman went into the Army, & myself into the R.A.F.
A few years ago Beaver still lived in Stafford, Blakeman left Stafford on promotion to a training school and I've have no idea where the other two are .
