johnpm   18 #6361 Posted February 28, 2014 --------------- Hiya Walt, Seen a few faces some i can't put names to them but 2nd row up 4th one on is John Howe next to him is Harry but can't remember secone name. 7th on is Les Cudsworth and 9th on is Charlie Wise. Hope your well. Brian.  Hi Brian, You are right about Les but I don't think that is Charlie Wise. Amy Wise is not there either & I am sure that if one went, the other would too as other officers have taken wives. Best wishes, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
