'I was born in Addingham over the shop at 74 Main Street, on the 13th May 1925.

My father was Allan Holmes and my mother Maggie Harrison.

Note the spelling and names they are correct and not Margaret as is so often used.

My father was then 39 and my mother 28 and for parents having their first child, considered very old for that time.

So begins the story, in his words, of Robert 'Bob' Holmes - hard working husband, father, grandfather, soldier, cricketer, poacher.
