Hi, We all have the odd photograph which is a bit of a mystery.
Having no idea I asked the last of the our older generation if he knew who the sitter was.
He laughed, "Where did you get that from...It's me "
He said his Aunt & Uncle had managed to get him an Orange and took him to the studio
to record the day.
His name was Stanley Waite & lived in West Ham.London. E16. the date around 1924!!

Thanks Carol, One sometimes just look at a picture and think  "boy with a ball" I suppose Oranges back then were expensive for some folks!!
