Joseph Eardley is the smallest man on back row of this photo . The family had links with Hindley Salvation Army and he lived in Hindley at the time this photo was taken (would suggest mid 1930's?)Wigan Salvation Army have also been mentioned?

I think this may be Hindley rather than Wigan Salvation Army Band, several of my family were in the Wigan Band and I don´t recognise anyone except perhaps Harold Farrimond seated on the front row left.

Sorry to butt in but my Grandfather was dedicated in the Hindley Salvation Army hall in 1906. He was also a bandsman and I suspect would have been playing around the time that this picture was taken. Mrs Calvert; your name is familiar though I'm not too sure why(?) My great uncle was also an Officer in the corps - Alfred Dutton. I have a flickr album which I'm adding pictures to as I come across them. You may want to look: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk796BAy
