The top picture is of Percy Field Crosland and our dad Peter L Crosland. I have no idea when or where it was taken but think dad looks about 25 ish
The other picture is the only known picture of dad playing Rugby Union He played for Bury and for Oxford University second fifteen I see the picture was devloped in Glasgow so the best guess is that this was the second 15 on tour? Be that as it may dad played at fly half and is seen here about to recieve a pass from the scrum half
Rugby was to remain a passion for the rest of his life The other picture isa Bury team photo taken possibly in the late 40's or early 50's
I have a vague memory as a child of watching dad play for Bury once.
