Wow this pic was taken on my birthday and date
Correction. The first scout in the ranks is not my eldest brother James Rothwell but his younger brother Brian.I believe the front rank of scouts to be from right to left.Norman Hewitt. Ken Jones and Joe Rimmer.
Hi Graham, It still looks to me like James Calvin Oates Rothwell, but you should know better than me. I can see Geoffrey Powers further back also. E.T.
Hello Eric.Can confirm that it is brother James Calvin Oakes. Easy mistake since at that age we all looked alike. By the way I regularly spent my sweet coupons at your shop Regards Graham R.
Sorry to disagree, but it is definitely BRIAN Rothwell, James wasn't in the Scouts in 1945, and the scouts in the file behind him are Arthur Prescott,Fred Hurst and Alan Lowe.c64mv
I believe the first scout on the left behind the chap in the light coloured uniform is my dad Norman Hewitt, who sadly passed away in 1976 aged 47.
The scout leaders on the front row are, from left to right: Alan Shaw, Joe Rimmer, Ken Jones and Norman Hewitt
