 ERA4th Class William Wright
The majority of the ERA photos in this section (as far as Besfield) are from William Wright's collection which he must have brought back to his family in April 1941 when Neptune was in Chatham and they all got some leave. It is a great tribute to his memory that he has left us with such an extensive archive of his ERA friends.
