L to R -
John Savage; George Matkin; Eric Johnson; Don Lees; -----------; Eric Geddes; Len Russell; Gordon Driver;
Reg Driver; David Matkin; Ken Mercer: C/O was Major Mercer.

David Mortlock says - Don Lees, John Matkin, Len Russell all emigrated tto Australia. Eric Geddes (with his father and mother) came over to the UK from New Zealand and stayed for 2 years. Eric and I were good friends and played rugby together at Burton. When he returned to NZ circa 1950 he eventually became bandmaster of Wellington Citadel band. We met in NZ shortly before he passed away in about 2007
