THESE smartly-dressed men posed for the cameraman on the lawn of a stone building.

But who were the men, what organisation did they represent and where and when was the picture taken?

These are the questions that Eileen Margetts, of Hutchcomb Road, Botley, Oxford, would like Memory Lane readers to answer.

The picture was found in the garage at the home of her late stepsister, Josephine Tunstall, in London.

We know the name of only one of the men – Mrs Tunstall’s husband, Richard, in a light suit in the third row, just left of centre.

We believe the picture was taken in Oxford possibly in the 1930s – an imprint on the cardboard frame shows it was the work of Oxford Photocrafts, of 107a St Aldate’s Street.

But there is no clue about whether it was a works gathering or a social occasion, or the identity of the building in the background.

Mr Tunstall is believed to have worked in the glove trade at Woodstock before the Second World War.

During the war, he served with the Engineers and was captured during the advance on Dunkirk and held prisoner in Germany. After being released, he continued to serve in the Army.

He lived with his wife and four children in Harley Road, off Botley Road, Oxford. Later, the family left Oxford for London, where they ran a newsagents.

Can anyone shed any light on the mystery picture? Write and let me know.
