| With thanks to Tony Forsgate and especially Betty Bowes,
the names of the Ranger Guides have been obtained for the top
photograph. They are all members of Wivenhoe Girl Guides, and some time in
either 1941 or 1942. Mrs Ruth Munson is the Leader in the centre of each
photograph. If you know any of the names in the bottom photograph, please e-mail their identities to Peter
and Bonnie Hill. After this appeal was made, several people
have contacted us and the Guides have been named. |

Lane. March 2003 Thanks to Pat Green, Sally's mum, the person in the bottom photo,

the Guides in 1948/49 when Pat was then a Guide. And
a big thank you to Peter Nessling who, in January 2006, e-mailed from
Australia, to provide all but one of the names of the people in the bottom

who helped you in this task. |
