Observations

  1. On 1st June 2018 at 5:02 p.m., jongodden noted:

    The pictures of John Turner, discovered in 2017 in a suitcase and published in the BBC article by Phil Coomes at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-43782267, include one of a lady collecting for the PDSA. Behind her is a poster for this Comedy Theatre production of Five Finger Exercise, and the caption reads ‘A woman collecting for the PDSA charity, Regent Street, London, 1955’. However, given the details on this site, it is more likely 1958.
