She grew up in the Liverpool area and Old Ted was a lifelong companion. Even during World War Two, when Liverpool was heavily bombed, Old Ted was a great comfort for the frightened children in the shelter. It was during World War Two that the Farnell and Wowie were added to the group, Esme’s neighbour David was called up and joined the R.A.F., one day he came to Esme’s house on his motorbike bring this bear and asked Esme to look after him, sadly he was killed on a raid over Germany and Esme had kept the three together until she trusted them to Sue Pearson’s care. There is some confusion over some of Esme’s story, as during the war, Esme would have been 29 to 35 and if this Farnell bear was David’s as a child he would have been too young to fight in the war, I wonder if he as a teenager had a bit of a crush on Esme and decided to buy her a bear as love token? - the story of The Three Musketeers appears on pages 18, 19 and 145 of A Collector’s Guide to Bears and Bears by Sue Pearson; and comes with a copy of the second book
