Army Cadets – Loftus 1948?

Here’s a happy group of Army Cadets, N.C.Os and Officers posing for their photograph with a shiny new trophy in their midst. Loftus Detachment; they were attached to the 4th Battalion Green Howards (although there looks to be an alien cap badge or two and even the Green Howards badges are all from different eras).

Back Row: Dennis Calvert, Don Bowers, Bill Hicks, Chris Cummins, John Barrett, John ‘Jack’ Nicholson, Dougie Upton, Len Purver.

Middle Row: Terry Codling, Harry Dack (doing his National Service), Richard Lean (doing his National Service), Jack Nicholson, Ray Husband, John Waite, Alan May.

Front Row: Don Yeoman, Geoff Hicks, Colin Morrison.

But – what was the occasion and what was the Trophy? John Nicholson has added: “Still going strong , living in Marton in Cleveland.”
