It was my wife's bear to go with my favourite, "Rupert." Our originals came with us in our luggage to Brandon in August 1966 as comforts for our three very young children. Successive grandchildren and great grandchildren have been entertained with Winnie particularly, and the books about both bears (particularly the annuals which came at Christmas after the war) were compulsory reading whenever one of them visited.
