A very formal photograph taken by the Services Studio in Middlesbrough. ”The Jolly Boys” are now known to have been an amateur singing group, mainly Methodist and not military as we first thought. The only other clue in the image is the footwear – lace-up boots instead of shoes, so probably pre-1918. Back row: ??, ??, ??, ??.
Front row: Mr Heseldine, ??, Fred Nicholson, Joe Agar.
Tony Nicholson advised us: “‘The Jolly Boys’ were an amateur singing group (not military but mainly Methodist).
I know two men here:- Mr Heseldine, front row left; Fred Nicholson, front row, third from left.”
