Siblings Tom, Alfred, Lawrence and Gladys Dutton 1937

Tom, Alfred, Lawrence and Gladys were all sent to Boarding Schools in the UK from their home in Mexico.Two more brothers were not able to go to boarding school because of WWII. Gladys says " My brothers went to Wellington School and they would come up during breaks on their motorcycles. They would pick me up and bring me to our Grandparents or they would just visit. If there was an extra seat on the motorcycle, my brothers would pick a girl to go on an outing to the castle. Their arrival would cause quite a stir among the girls."

Editors Note: I can imagine they would indeed have caused a stir! Amazed that you were allowed out on a motorbike and taking a friend with you too!I wonder if it was Harlech Castle you visited?
