BABY on POSTCARD IDENTITY
REVEALED........
Extract from e-mail Aug.2005,
Margaret Russell, Victoria BC, Canada.
Hi - I have had a lot of fun looking over the pages of GlesgaPals.
My mother came from Bridgeton, so many of these stories have
impact. There are a lot of stories I could add, of earlier times, as my mother
was born in 1888.
........... you show three Cradle Roll cards that were sent to the
Montogomery child when he was one, two and three.
My mother was Cradle Roll Sergeant in Weston Corps in Winnipeg, Canada and
used to give out these cards. How well I remember them, as they were so
beautiful, with tints of mauve, pink and blue, with the picture of the
child on the card on a raised rounded portion of the card. That was in the
1930's.
It was mentioned that you did not know the names of the children
portrayed.
In 1989, when my husband and I were in England, we stopped into a
Salvation Army Citadel in Harpendon. We were cordially greeted by Bandsman
Coulter, who invited us to their home for lunch. There, he told us
that he was the infant that was portrayed on one of the Cradle Roll
cards. Mr Coulter was at that time the owner of chemical research firm
in Harpendon .......Blessings Margaret.
Webmaister : thank you so
much for this information, now I wonder which child Bandsman Coulter
is, child one, two or three? Who knows one day we may get the answer
to that and all three childrens names. .
