I think he might have had ringworm and they used to shave heads I believe.
Thanks Dan for the enlargement and the effort at colouring it!

Bob thank you for posting the class photos of St Mary's junior school. The second photo shows my sister Enid, and the fourth, my brother Ian. I was surprised and happy to see them. I hope you don't mind if I forward a copy to them.

Hi Bob, regarding the school pictures, my sister Enid is on the second photo seated on the front row, third on the left. Ian is on the sixth photo (I originally said fourth) he's on the third row, second left. I love looking at all the old photographs including Bootle Joc. Thanks again for posting them.
Thanks to Dan for the coloured versions. Also to both of you for the many, and varied photos and articles you post. Brilliant !

Yes - . they do look well turned out. Front row bottom right with skewiff tie, round glasses and buck teeth could be me but my mam wasn't born till 1923 so it can't be me.

I think this is the photo. The National Library referred to is that of Wales in sunny Aberystwyth.
