Ray Haddrill, Chorister?

Bruce Helman sends us this photo from 1945 which appeared in the Newcastle Herald of 27 December 2013, and asks, is that Ray Haddrill second from the left in the front row?



"This week’s picture was supplied by Ian Bowrey, who found it at the bottom of a box of books he bought at an auction. It is the Newcastle Boys High Choir of 1945. ‘‘The school no longer exists. And I don’t think the photo should be filed away in a library, and I will be disappointed if it were never to see the new light of day,’’ Ian wrote.
