Redruth Wesleyan Young Men’s Bible Class outing just before the outbreak of World War One. A total of 150 young men signed up to fight.
Listed as present on the reverse of this photography are both C. Polkinghorne and A. Polkinghorne (who all wrote letters back to Harry Rich, the leader of the Class). C. Polkinghorne sadly did not survive the War.
Harry Rich was an influential and well-known local character, who was a Director of South Crofty mine.
