LANCE Taylor popped into the office the other day with the photograph, left, from 1948.

It shows the 17th (Christ Church Troop) in a formal pose. Mr Taylor, who lives in Haslam Court, Wigan Road, Bolton, joined as a cub in 1929 and was group scout master from 1940 until 1950. That's him, with glasses, in the middle of the fourth row from the front. The troop celebrated its 75th anniversary last month.
