Pageant July 1938

Re: Replacing Pictures of Egbert and little Sidney - the Dinosaurs from the 1938 Page

One of the floats from the parade...
On the side it say's: something - something - "Brass Copper Association"... I would love to know what the whole inscription actually is.... Can anyone help with this please?
The 3 people in the foreground are relations of mine and appear in nearly all of my photos.

Sorry Jaffa, can't help I'm afraid. I was there though looking a right twit dressed as a Pea-Pod. My family still take the micky out of me. Regards, David.

Ha!... That's a shame David, although I'm sure you made a rather splendid pea-pod!

Here's an "off-stage" photo of my mother who was one of the Stone age/Iron age mob.

There is a thread called "Pageant in the Park, July 24th 1938" where other pictures of Egbert are shown in #24. Dave

Edit. Threads now merged.
 
These two images seem to be of the same event. The temporary column of St George has been discussed elsewhere on the forum. Viv.
