    My mother, Alison McLeod-Sharpe, worked during WWII in Victoria Barracks for the War Department. She worked there only a few years. In 1946 she left as a war bride to marry my father, an American Marine, on the Monterey. Only in 2008 did I discover that A-Block and J-Block were designed by her great grandfather on her mother's side, Gustav Joachimi, a fact that delighted and surprised her.
