Ijlst - Galamagracht
A postcard photo of one of the canals in Ijlst in the late 1930s. The canal has since been filled in, but the street remains the main one of Ijlst. From 1943-47 my parents lived in this small Friesian city.
My mother saved postcards of the places where in the Netherlands she and her growing family had lived, as well as other pictures for the family photo album. As we migrated to Australia in 1951 when the eldest of her children was only 5, this photo album was an important way of keeping us kids in touch with our country of birth.
