Thanks are due to the Chappell
family for permission to publish this work on the web.
The book gives a valuable insight
into the lives of the people of Hillesley, Glos in the early years
of the 20th century. Many of the characters described are relatives
of those of us who have been studying the family history of Hawkesbury
and Hillesley.
David was second cousin to Bill
Thompson whose book is also
available for reading on this website.
