Thanks to Edwena Black Platt
and Cheryll Sumner
for this corrected information on Gene Black (22 Jun 2004).
Thanks to Robin Steven Peacock whose grandfather, Randolph Peacock, is pictured here on the left. Mr. Peacock, at the age of 81, gave us the names that he could remember by looking at this photo. One exception is the name of Gene Black, whose name was provided by Edwena Platt.
Do you know any of the others? We would really like to get all of these young men identified. If you can help, please let us know.
