One has a sense of what a hardscrabble life many of these people endured.

My uncle was a milkman either just before the 2ndWW or just after. He had to chase his horse round the field and hitch to the cart before he could start.

Pay attention to the small double jobber boy … 🙂

Very lively and full of characters.
