If I knew how to put photo's on here, I would send you a picture of your gt.Uncles legs.!! Taken on the team photo, when we won the Reklaw Cup, for the Brigade. He'll know ' Sharpy' well enough.Why not buy uncle Wilf the new book for Christmas.? The Leeds City Fire Brigade. One hundred and fifty years of Service. Costs £12 and a donation goes direct to the Fire Service Charity.Wilf's on page 156, ( No.4 middle row.)
