lysandernovo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I remember reading that there was some disquiet that there were no "crack" units allocated to Sheffield's Victory Parade! I wonder if that's so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy117 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 This must be after the war, the film Two Men and a Girl in the last photo wasn't released until 1947. Nigel L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The latter picture could be of a different parade.....Note the absence of the military and it seems to be a different man wearing the Mayoral Chain ....he has more hair, is taller and appears somewhat younger than the man in the earlier picture.🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the chain of office does not look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yes, after I had posted it occured that the chain didn't seem the same as the one in the earlier picture and despite my saying an "absence of the military"....closer examination reveals a soldier in uniform to the rear of said man wearing the mysterious chain! Could the chain be that of the Master Cutler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
