Background
The children on the photo could be Dora E Baker (b 1914) and Nicholas Glyn Baker (b 4 Oct 1916), who were born in Abergavenny, children of Nicholas James Baker and Florence Edith Willey.
Their father, Nicholas James Baker, was a Private in the Prince of Wales Volunteers South Lancashire Regiment* in Mesopotamia during WW1 – he died on 15 Aug 1918 and is buried at the war cemetery in Baghdad (North Gate, War Cemetery, grave ref: X1. D.5 – Remembered with Honour) and is the “daddy” referred to on the back of the photo.
He was the son of Edwin and Grace Baker, husband of Florence Edith Baker of Thornbank, Ton Mawr Avenue, Blaenarvon, Mon.

Nicholas and Florence had 3 children:
1. Kenneth George Baker 1910 – died Abergavenny 1913
2. The daughter Dora E Baker, born 1914 Abergavenny
3. The son, Nicholas Glyn Baker, born 1916 Abergavenny and died September 1986 in Newport, Monmouthshire. It is possible that he married Elsie E Norman 1941 in Newport.
It is the Baker family that we believe Bristol Bear belongs to.
