My name is Rhiannon Griffiths. I live in Mold. Well, this photograph was taken after Mold Victory Garden Week in 1944 when there was a show to raise money for Prisoners of War. The photo shows me with a decorated bicycle. I won in this show. I won the princely sum of 10 shillings which is 50 pence in today's money. I didn't see the 10 shillings it went straight into my money box. The box is a mock up of the box that went to the Prisoners of War in Germany or wherever they were. On the tray in front a lot of tins were shown. Tinned fruit, tinned meat, everything and the nurse's uniform was borrowed from the Red Cross in Mold, I think. After the show was over we paraded around Mold and in those days whenever there was a carnival Mold was packed with people on the pavements and we walked right around Mold and I remember we walked to one end of Mold where we disappeared and did a circle around Pwll Glas and Dreflan and by this time I was quite tired so I was put on the float of the Red Cross as it happened and then came back into Mold.
