Week 45 entry for 52 weeks challenge.

No time for any decent photography this week, so we’ve dug deep into the archives again.

This is from about 1964/5. I’m the urchin in the poncy white gloves leading the SE Hertfordshire District Scouts St George’s Day Parade. Although I have Patrol Leader’s stripes I can’t be more than 14 as I’m not wearing glasses.

Those were the days when shorts were mandatory, even for Scout Masters, although thank heaven we didn’t have to try to maintain those old style hats.

Photograph, probably by my father, taken at Turnford, Cheshunt, outside the then Rochford’s Sports Ground. The road is what was then the main A10 to Cambridge (it’s been bypassed now and is the A1170).
