Two Wigan Grandfathers
Photo: Keith

I posted a small photo in 2008 of Crispin Arms customers circa 1951 standing outside the pub, the link is https://www.wiganworld.co.uk/album/photo.php?opt=4&id=7597&gallery=Birkett+Bank&page=1 Two Wigan Album viewers saw their grandfathers in the group photo. They were "Sandra Moore" and “xxStuartxx”. Technology is always changing and now I have an “enhanced" portrait of their grandfathers. I know Sandra especially would welcome this since it’s the only photo she has of him. Dick was a veteran of the Gallipoli campaign, he told my father that when they waded ashore they felt like tin ducks in a fairground shooting range with nowhere to hide, how he survived is a miracle. Anyone “out there” who could help me get these to their grandchildren? Thank you.
