In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, which marked the beginning of World War II. Jane’s father took a commission with the Royal Engineers in the Army. He served his country in Europe and the Far East, and in the process, unhappily, disappeared from his daughter’s life for a time. This photo was taken as the family was saying their farewells to Jane's father. Jane is sitting in front of her father and next to her younger sister, Judy.
