Wu sing is my new name



Who decided to call themselves Wu sing in 1904? This card contains a clue, "You know the P.C. with the motor bus on that you sent, well I thought it was for me but discovered on Friday that it was for Mother."

The post cards in John's collection contains one from Elizabeth Tidy, his aunt and Lily, his cousin so could Wu sing have been his cousin, May Tidy?


This photograph shows John as a young child holding the reins with his sister, Edith behind him and cousin May on the right. her father Jim Tidy is holding the pony.

In 1904 John left school and started working for his father, in the butchers shop, but would have liked to have had a career in buses. Was the Motor Bus post card an illustration of his interest?

February 22nd 1904 was a Monday. Winston Churchill spoke three times in a House of Commons debate about the Army (Supplementary) Estimates 1903/04.
