So Hugh spent his early childhood in India. When it became time to send Hugh to school, George and Helen shipped him back to England to attend Stoneyhurst, a catholic boarding school in Lancashire. In the 1920’s travelling to India every year for Christmas and summer holidays was out of the question, so instead, Hugh and his brother James spent their vacations with a bachelor uncle “Harry” and a spinster aunt “May”, who lived together in the family home near Dublin. Characteristically, the boys named them “Uncle Dad” and “Aunt Hen”. Condition: Good Condition
