Life Guards - Barry Island

Life Guards, marching like military guardsmen but less formally attired, are presented with certificates on Whitmore Beach, Barry Island, addressed by a police chief, and demonstrate the use of a rope winch, perhaps a fairly new piece of kit. Shot by Alfred York Bailey (1895-1976) who was born in Liverpool, brought up and married in Bradford and lived for a time in Cardiff, the city he then retired to c.1960.
