Today 82 years ago, my Granddad was admitted in to 2628 Company of the ‘Church Lads Brigade’ at the rank of Private.

I’ve not found anything on 2628 company, I think they would have been in the Bradford & Beswick area of Manchester.

I can tell you that Company Number 2628 was attached to St Paul’s, Philip’s Park, in the Manchester Diocese. The company was enrolled in 1907 by Rev A Blackburn and you can see by the card that he was still its Chaplain in 1930. They met in St Paul’s School.
