| Description |
Black and white photograph of a couple smiling. The woman is wearing an embroidered dress and is probably sitting in a chair. The man is wearing a tie and jacket and has his arm around the woman's shoulder. His posture suggests he is sat on the arm of the chair. The accompanying article is headed "WHITE HORSE WAS LUCKY OMEN FOR THIS WEDDING" The couple are Colin and Evelyn Weaver who were celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary. The headline is likening an incident that happened on their wedding day with the superstition associated with seeing a black cat as a lucky omen. At the time, Colin was a blacksmith and just a few hours before he was due to be at the church he was called on to shod a white horse. The article gives a detailed account of both Colin and Evelyn's life. During the Second World War, Colin served with the Herefordshire Regiment. The photograph shows Colin wearing a tie with diagonal stripes. When compared with ties worn by officers shown in Newsletters published on the Herefordshire Light Infantry Museum website, the shades and the width of the stripes confirms Colin is wearing a Herefordshire regimental tie. |
