Yes, I knew four of these ‘Dads Army’ gentlemen, who did ‘sign-in’. Mr Judd and I recognise Messrs Davies, Fuller and Tredwell, who coincidentally are also shown in the posting ‘EEB Civic Square (Day Trip)’.

Has anyone been able to match the names in the letter to the men in the photograph. I am certain the man at the end of the back row on the left is my grandfather, Harry Mason, as it is as I remember him and matches any photographs I have of him. However, there is no corresponding signature. I know he was in the Tilbury Homeguard during the Second World War.
