Second boy from the left on the front row is the late Peter Kearsley, a great friend of my brother Dennis Wall, who sadly died last year. Dennis is 5th from the left on the second row from the bottom and to his left is our cousin Joseph Kennedy, who died earlier this year. I think I recognise Roland Anders further along the same row.

Sadly Peter died about 3 or 4 years ago Harold. He was a lovely man, a true gent.

I don't recognise the faces of two boys, one at the right end of second row and one at right end of the back row.Two that Brian has missed are next but one right is Fred Green and Tony Carney at the end.

The boy on the second row from the back and 2nd from the right is John Harrington not his brother Terry.
