The Great War 1914 -1919
"Morecambe and Heysham Peace Festivities.
How the Glorious Day was Celebrated.
1st Morecambe Troupe (sic) of Boy Scouts leading the
Heysham Procession."
The parade, photographed proceeding up Heysham Road towards Cross Cop, is led by
1st Sandylands (Morecambe) Troop.
Note the tram lines in the road!
The flagbearer is Mr G S Evenden, first Secretary (1930), and later Chairman, of
Morecambe Local Association.
Mr Evenden was an optician by profession, with premises in Yorkshire Street.
The webmaster recalls visiting him several years ago at his flat in Princes
Crescent and hearing of his interesting experiences many years ago when visiting
Tom Helme at his home at Springfield in Lancaster - now the site of developments
at the Infirmary.
