I do hope that my old RC pals can help me here! My wife's last surviving brother has died in Perth, Western Australia and we are today looking at a very old cutting from the Manchester Evening News
(undated don't y'know!) which has a photograph which includes her brother (complete with Busby etc.!) We know, of course that the reason for the visit to Manchester was part of the tercentenary
celebrations of this famous regiment. I understand that this would have been in 1956.
Yesterday we travelled down to Manchester and into the Central Library and spent couple of hours
trawling through the micro film records of the newspaper for the period April 1956 up to December 1956. This time period was according to my wife's best recollection, for in that time she attended
the celebration ball at the Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square as one of the guests.
Unfortunately to no avail!
Any ex Grenadiers out there, can you please help. What year was it - what month was it.
If I can locate the newspaper I should be able to get a "proper" copy of this now so important
photograph.
I know that her brother served in the Grenadiers from 1954 to 1957 (as a short term regular), prior to emigrating to Perth in 1960.
