C.P. I was an officer in the 5th Wigan with Keith, Irving and John (Junior Section) for many years. He was a nice chap. Are you aware he died a couple of years ago? He would have been in his early 70s.

CP. I think you mean Mark Brookes. His dad Roy was an officer along with Brian Perry and Ken Lea. Don Jackson was also an officer. I was in the company many years man and boy. Check out 5th Wigan BB St Catharine's in Assorted and Walking Days - St Catharine's etc.

CP Mark doesn't have a brother. He has a sister Gillian who became an officer later on. The Paul could be Paul Jones and he was very tall for his age and was in the company for some time.
