An outing from the chapel, George Tremain tells us: ”After some research I now believe I can identify some of the members of this group. On the back group standing 3rd in is Charles Hall, 5th fron left with moustache is Joseph Easton and with her arnm linked to his I believe is Emily Jemson his step grandaughter. Second from the right standing is Priscilla Easton who had formerly been Priscilla Jemson ubntil her husband William Jemson was killed in a mining accident. Second row from the front 3rd from the right as you look kneeling is Mary Jemson kneeling. There are also other members of the Hall/Jemson family on the photograph as all seemed to have strong links with the church. Fred Nicholson, crouching at front on far left. He married Clara Hall. Worked as deputy in ironstone mines but then started his own business with Mr Petty.(Nicholson and Petty). The photograph must be somewhere around 1910-20.”

And so he should be showing off his four medals,he is now identified as Major (name not rank!) Lightfoot. He lived 35 High Street, Skinningrove. The other man round the corner is identified as Tommy Wiskers living in Cliff Street. The medals have been identified by Joh Wright as: ”the 1914/15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal (earned with the 9th Battalion Green Howards in France and Italy) and the fourth is the Rocket Apparatus Long Service Medal.”
