Sally-Anne Hinton added (April 2012): "... Upon showing the attached photo to my father he advised that this was a special Cricket Match. Iit was taken on the occasion of a Forest of Dean Select team playing against Gloucestershire County Cricket Club in a Tom Graveny benefit match at Lydney in June 1959. Tom Graveny was a first class Gloucestershire and England batsman. I have attached the newspaper clipping (left) that goes with this photo".
