Albert Stafford's life - The Scouts


The first photograph of Albert in Scout uniform standing with his bike was one of the old negatives belonging to Aunt Eleanor.  I initially thought these negatives were all taken in the 1930s, but Albert is very young in this photograph, perhaps around 18. As Albert was born in 1902 this shows that some of the negatives were taken as early as the 1920s or even earlier.

The following are photographs I believe Albert took of a Scout camp.  I have no idea where the the camp took place.

The photographs were in a bad way, and did not restore particularly well, but here they are.
