CB:  Lovely.  Number forty-eight. (MI048) This is the same occasion isn’t it.

Marion:  Yes.

CB:  Terry’s Memorial Pound –

Marion:  That’s right.  And many of the Commoners turned up.  And from the left we’ve got information redacted]

BI:  That’s the same photograph, you’ve just gone through.

CB:  So restart number 48.

Marion:  We’re at the same occasion of the branding ceremony at the Pound, and in the picture we have got from the left: we’ve got  [information redacted] talking to [information redacted] and I would think probably one of his grandchildren; then, in the foreground, we have Lord Manners and Richard Stride; and then to Richard’s left we’ve got [information redacted]; the grey-haired gentleman is Archie Cleveland;  then Brian Ingram; the lady in the background is [information redacted]; um, then leaning on the rails is   [information redacted] and   [information redacted], his wife, next to him.  Did we – I don’t know who the person is –

BI:  It nearly looks like Ada.

CB:  So number forty-nine. (MI049) 

Marion:  Yes, It’s   [information redacted]. He’s the one putting his brand onto the Pound.  Actually, I’m not sure it was the brand;  they put the inscription on the Pound.  All did a letter each.

CB:  That’s a great collection of people.

Marion:  Yeah.

CB:  So on to number fifty. (MI050)

Marion:  Yeah, in this picture we’ve got the brands being heated up by the Pound and we’ve got   [information redacted], and he’s holding a child, I guess that was   [information redacted], his daughter; and next to him is   [information redacted].  Kneeling down by the fire is Richard Stride and then we’ve got   [information redacted], and we guess that was possibly   [information redacted], his youngest child.

CB:  On to number fifty-one (MI051)

Marion:  Yes, this was   [information redacted], he was one of the agisters, but he had to retire through ill health, and he decided to write a book.  And he had his book-signing day in the museum at Lyndhurst and in this picture we’ve got Brian Ingram stood by the side of him and   [information redacted] is there doing his signing.

CB:  And that was roughly – ?

Marion:  Nineteen ninety-one.

CB:  So, number fifty-two. (MI052)

Marion:  Yes, we’re going back… I think this was when the hounds met down at the pub, the Royal Oak at Hilltop.  And we’ve got   [information redacted], a very young   [information redacted], on Trampas. And this was in nineteen seventy-five, so that would make   [information redacted] four –

CB:  Wow –

Marion:  And Brian is riding a mare we had, called Lady.

CB:  Lovely.  So number fifty-three. (MI053)

Marion:  In this picture, this would have been a Commoners’ Meet – the New Forest foxhounds down at Exbury. And in the picture to the left is a gentleman called   [information redacted]; him and his wife were great followers of the hounds; and then on the horse is… Actually, I don’t know who that was on the horse because it was a friend of Mike’s.  But on the coloured animal is   [information redacted], and he lives down near Lepe, and we very rarely see him on a horse these days.  And then stood just watching the proceedings, is   [information redacted].

CB:  And number fifty-four. (MI054)

Marion:  Yeah, he – this was at Ladycross and it was to do with Sir Dudley Forward’s eightieth birthday, and he was a great follower of the hounds. So they had him – got him there with the hounds and that’s   [information redacted], he was the huntsman of the Buckhounds at the time. 

CB:  Lovely.
