This is one of those little family photographs handed down within my family. Luckily, it is one of those rare photographs which has been annotated on the reverse, so I am able to identify the participants in this camping trip. They are, from the left, Billy Duffie; Monkey Matthews; Bunny Smith; and, my father, Albert Burnett. Just where they were camping is not stated, but it will have been somewhere not far from Bradford where they all lived. The date, I would guess, was about 1925.

That's not much tent for four fellows. Maybe it was just an afternoon out.
ReplyDelete"Monkey Matthews?" I'll bet there's a great story behind that nickname.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I am assuming that "Monkey" is a nickname!
I think the photo tells your family history eloquently.
