The occasion was a nativity play at St John's Church of England School, Coleford in the late 1940s. Can anyone narrow down the date?
Colin Smith added (December 2009): "So many
of my class mates are on this photograph. Larry Sterret, Gwen Evans, Anne
Ricketts, Penelope Jenkins, Beryl Hyde, Tony Bird, Alec Aincough, Hilary
Howells, Winnie George and one of my greatest friends, John Richards.
Some of them, I hope they won`t mind me saying, were most unlikely
candidates for a nativity play. I can`t remember the occasion, but I am
surprised I was not part of it since I was always in St. John`s C of E
productions; perhaps I was sick. But where are Alan Potter, Gerald Frowen,
John Gwilliam, Graham Jones, Roger Williams, Michael and Peter Roberts et
al?".
"It is clear that, as my class was the senior class on the photo, this must
have been taken pre-Christmas, 1949. My class left the school in July,
1950".
