Having viewed the photo re Middleton Volunteers, I have to say I am
struggling to recognise anyone other than Graham Millward 2nd from right.
The chap at the side of him 1st right may be Mr Hutchins and the youth
next to Graham in the army uniform is Goeff Alsop my wifes cousin I
believe the tall youth in the old fashioned uniform may be Peter
Wilkinson and I recognise the fellow behind Graham Millward but cannot
put a name to him..Others are familiar faces but I am finding difficulty
in naming them..Graham Millward lives across the road from me but has
recently been bereaved his wife having died of cancer..When I feel he is
able to look at the photo I will take it on to him and I am sure he will
put names to all
Graham has been involved in the entertainment field from a teenager..In
the 1950s he along with my brother John and Geoff Alsop and Barry Doxey
formed the original Happy Wanderers giving concerts locally Graham then
led The Glenorchy Glee Club he a member of what was Wirksworth
Congregational Church now United Reform He has also compered at Miss
Derbyshire Contests and is a Comedian who has entertined for as long as
I can remember..He is my sister in law's relation..
