Hi Jim
I came across this photo in the Ulster Star quite a few years
ago I was very much aware of it as it hung in my Grandparents
home in the early 40s as my uncle Harry is in it, then one day
quite a few years ago sitting with the staff in the Niagara
Jimmy Lewis asked me did I know anyone in it. I was aware of
three individuals, for some reason I must have cut the photo out
of the star and came on unexpectedly while going through old
photos so I took it to my Uncle Bobbie Rooney (Bricklayer & Fair
Dart Player) and he filled in the rest some Christian names are
missing and some nick names are used, I hope this doesn't give
offence .
