Haworth Posted 3 April , 2021 Share Posted 3 April , 2021 Uncle Donald was an employee of the Hugh Stevenson packaging company in Manchester. This is the only picture I have of him c.1914. He spent the early days in France and survived. I cannot distinguish his cap badge , nor the heavy tool hanging on the left of his belt. Can anyone help please?

Haworth Posted 3 April , 2021 Author Share Posted 3 April , 2021 Can anyone identify this cap badge please? I had thought it would be a Manchester or Salford one but apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haworth Posted 3 April , 2021 Author Share Posted 3 April , 2021 Ah yes it looks like a lion. Much of his leisure time was spent painting in the Lake District so that figures. I do wonder why he didn't go to the Front with the rest of the workforce from Manchester. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
