Jane Devereux remembers the moment as if it were yesterday – she had just turned four and was told she was about to meet her daddy for the very first time.
Having finally arrived home in 1945 after being held as a Japanese prisoner of war, her father gently took a blonde, blue-eyed doll from his kit bag and gave it to his young daughter.
Jane, now 80, recalled: “I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I’d never had a doll before.”
