FIRST SIGHTING OF AN ACTUAL DUX TROPHY FROM NEWLANDS

DUX TROPHY COMES OUT OF HIDING

True to his word, Frank Wales has sent us a photo of his Dux Trophy that he won at Newlands Primary School for the year 1972-73.

Shown here in all it's glory.

A great opportunity for all us numpties who never had any chance of getting near one to see what an actual dux trophy looks like.

Although he has still to send us a copy of the photo of his Granny selling flowers at Parkhead Cross, the arrival of which we await with bated breath !

As a wee aside:

"Anne Armstrong" added this comment to the post below:

"Can you please tell me Is that the correct photo of Frank Wales. I don't recall him looking like the handsome man in that photo. Might be wrong, but think he may have gone around with my brother for a while at Riverside. A few of the boys went on a camping trip in the 1970s and got up to monkey business, my brother would never tell me what."

Well I can't comment on the authenticity of the photo below, as I had left Newlands long before Frank was there and therefore did not know him. Is there anybody out there who can confirm or deny that Frank Wales is indeed the handsome character portrayed below ? How about a wee photo of YOU Anne to allow Frank to comment on if you are how he remembers you ?
