Jack Baker: WWII people images
Grandad was a keen rower throughout his life, first with Bedford Rowing Club and then Bedford Star Rowing Club. He wasn't going to let a little thing like a world war get in the way of his favorite passtime, so he carried on! This section has images of him and others from the Marines in Ceylon rowing. As with most images I believe they are from 1941-1942, if you can help fill in the many blanks I would love to hear from you. [If you are interested in Navy/Marines rowing see their website.]
