This Keighley Trade and Grammar School cricket team, taken between 1906 and 1908, has come all the way from Chillington in Devon, sent by Mrs Frances Earle, whose father, John Holt Lister, sits on the left of the front row.
Any hopes Mrs Earle might have harboured about his cricketing prowess are rather damped by sporting notes in the school magazines of the period.
In 1906 he scored ducks in matches against Bingley and Ilkley Grammar Schools. During the 1907 season he scored a total of 49 runs in eight innings, giving him a batting average of seven; in 1908, 28 runs in six innings, batting average 4.6.
However, in 1906 he would only have been 14 years old, and he looks here to be about the youngest member of the team.
This was the generation to be engulfed in the Great War.
A list of Old Boys who had enlisted, published in the school magazine as early as November of 1914, includes John H Lister in the 6th Battalion of the West Riding Regiment.
