Mistaken Identity

Apologies to John Whitehead, of Low Road, Conisborough, whose identity we confused last week with that of his soldier pal, Ernest Hirst, of Castle Terrace, Conisborough. Both are in the Cameron Highlanders, and their portraits were on the same print, hence the confusion.

Anyway, here’s wishing these kilted brothers in arms good luck and good hunting in their search for Hitler.
