Hello , My name is Jayne Cleveley , my mother was Christine Cleveley nee Bundy, she is in the photograph of the programme Tenko with the thesecond row, she was an adviser to Lavinia and her drawings and poems were used in the programme. I have been given this link by Bill Bourke She was of course in the choir as she had a very good voice and played the piano very well too, sadly she died in 1987 and I have been trying to find out all I can about her camp ever since . I have read the books written about it and my father`s camp too , he was a Captain the in the Royal Signals, he died in 1971 very young, also on the Mata Hari thats hoe the met but thats another story
Hi Jayne,
Great to hear from you. I immediately recognised your surname because of Lavinia’s Women Beyond the Wire book. I wrote a book on Tenko, published last year, endorsed by Lavinia – not sure if you’ve seen that. I had no idea of your mother’s connection with Tenko. I’d love to hear more. I will email you separately. My email is andypriestner @ hotmail.com
