Three babies wrapped up in blankets and propped up pillows

A very special delivery

On 11th February 1931 Pamela, Patricia and Peggy Gates, triplet babies, were born at Salisbury Infirmary. Shown in the photos below with the maternity staff from Beatrice Ward, their birth was clearly a proud moment for the staff to enjoy too.
