The following photograph of is of a reunion of my father's (directly under the arrow) WW2 Home Guard unit taken shortly after the war. Most of these men are in their 50s and 60s and are veterans of WW1 (my father did not serve in that war). There are also two of my uncles (one standing to my father's left, the other the only one with folded arms (WW1 East Lancashire Regiment Veterans).
The photo was taken in front of the
Rose & Crown , Manchester Rd in Burnley, (the unit's "unofficial" wartime HQ
) as they were preparing to depart on a bus trip to the Lake District.
There aren't any "pot bellies" that I can see!
