The Forest during WWII
A
group of men photographed in the Forest during World War II. The men
are standing near what looks to be a pithead (coal mine shaft). A railway
line can just be made out in front of the pole on the left
The men may be members of the Royal Engineers.
Alan Tonge added (July 2009): "... I am fairly sure that the person on the far left is my father Edward (Ted) Tonge. who married Iris Cooper from Cannop and who settled in the Forest after the war. He was a member of the Royal Engineers".
