The police station is right next door to Andreville where Nancy Hyslop lived, and the soldiers stayed (there were two houses).

Taken outside my Great Gran's (Margaret Hyslop) cottage known as Andreville Cottage. The cottage is still in Lamlash and is opposite Arran High school. There was also a bungalow at Andreville which was sold by the family back in the late 1970s/early 80s, and renamed 'Sandmoor' by the new owners. The family used to stay in one house and let the other out in the summer and some of the soldiers were billeted in the cottage during the war. I myself have wonderful memories of holidaying at the cottage as a child when I was over visiting my grandparents.

I believe this is Hendrikis/Hendrikin Bijmolt/Bijnolt named on my father's wedding certificate.
I am not sure who this is

identity
I believe the man on the right is, Hendrikis Bijnolt (Henri Bijmolt?)or similar name. He was a witness at my father's wedding on 23rd January 1943 in Cardiff. His name is on the wedding certificate and he is also in the wedding photo. I have not been able to find any information about him.
