Sketch in Progress 2

Details are still sketchy. Though I was able to locate an ‘Old Hat’ pub in Southend-On-Sea, England its original name may not be ‘Top Hat’ pub.

During WWII my father shared many lunch breaks and after dinner drinks with Gracie Purvis (WAAF Corporal) in ,he writes, "the ‘Top Hat’ pub." So, right town, but wrong name. Maybe.

Did Dad not remember all details correctly?
