Notes for Dennis James Marklew May: General Notes: In 1924 the family sailed back to the United Kingdom, stopping off en-route in Port Said, where Dennis James May managed to get lost for an hour or so.. This is where Dennis first met Di, who lived with her family in their own house in Muschamp Road. Di´’s father Sam had inherited money, and worked in Insurance. At this time Dennis attended Wilson Grammar School, and Di attended Dulwich Central School. Around 1934/1935 moved to a flat in Muschamp Road, East Dulwich, where Dennis had his own room for the first time During the war Dennis was evacuated with the school, initially to a town on the coast, then subsequently to Ashford in Kent, where he attended Ashford Grammar School, becoming Head Boy and Captain of the school football team.

The family stayed in Muschamp Road until early 1942, but moved out as the house was becoming uninhabitable by this time, and into rented accommodation somewhere near the river in Maidenhead, Den remembers he was undertaking flying training stationed at Woodley Aerodrome at this time, and flew over the house whilst on training exercises. After Maidenhead the family moved firstly into rented property at 68 or 88 Windermere Avenue in South Kenton.
