Memories of the Dad’s Army days of the Second World War will be prompted for Adderley folk by this photograph of the village’s Home Guard taken in 1944. It has been loaned to the Advertiser by Mr and Mrs Robert and Gladys Lee, of Rowan Road. Mr Lee (80), a born-and-bred Adderley man, is pictured third from left in the second row. Between them, Mr and Mrs Lee have been able to put names to all the faces on the photo.
Pictured are: Back row (from left): Walter Broadhurst, Fred Campbell, Alf Francis, W. Connelly, Roy Smith, J. W. Roycroft, Tom Campbell, George Butter.
Middle row: Tom Jones, Ralph Jones, Robert Lee, Harry Ridgeway, Arthur Davies, George Dunn, Billy Knowles, John Healey, Bert Peers.
Seated: Arthur Brindey, George Harrison, H. B. Clare, L. Smith, A. Warburton, Jim Campbell.
