Bob Martin

Trudy, the wife of Millicent's twin brother 'Mosh', had talked about Millicent as making her so welcome and being a great friend.

Millicent had married Bob Martin, the son of the Speen baker. Bob had been demobbed before 'Mosh' and was back from South Africa where he had been training in the RAF. Bob joined his father in the bakery.

Bob was a quiet man but Millicent made up for him. Not only was she most attractive but had a really bubbly personality. All the men seemed to fancy Millicent and the women couldn't help liking her too.

But she was truly Bob's woman and when he died of cancer in his fifties she just could not live without him. A few months later she died one day in London despite her many friends trying to help her.
