Jim Kerr. Correct me if I’m wrong. White Star Tourist Service was our grandfathers business??
I didn’t realise there was an association with Newmans.
I have a White Star badge, presumably the same.

Jim Kerr
Annie Smith Yes Annie you are correct. The photo of Jim at HariHari with his short trousers he has the White Star on the service car. Dad said he drove busses south when he was 15. When he was taking the local policeman out to check the Kaniere water intake the Cop said I suppose we had better get you a license. George and Doug and Eddie drove road services trucks prior to and after WW2.

1928 Doug (dad) would have been 16, so too early for him and Pud to be driving.
