Second from right front row, Jim Owen the wifes dad. The photo has Wink Up Camp written on the back. Jims no longer with us, so I can't find out more about the photo, but I reckon its when he was in national service.
I reckon there may be one or two more people from the Wigan area in the photo.
Anyone recognise themselves or people they know?

Great photo and I know a bit about the camp, Its a bit hazy as my memories terrible. It was my grandad who told me about it. There were a few lads from Wigan at the camp and the rest from other parts of Lancashire, Manchester and so on. They were in training to go to Aden.
I bet my late grandad could have put names to the faces.
