I am aware that this article will probably not be as widely read as some of my other pieces. Nevertheless, I have written it as part of my tribute to the men and women who, today, are largely forgotten and unknown, but were primarily responsible for making present day Walthamstow.
I came to live in Walthamstow in 1960 and shortly after joined my local Labour Party (Walthamstow East) and became a local activist. By 1963, I had become the Youth Officer for Walthamstow East and was heavily involved with recruiting and educating members of the local Labour Party Young Socialist organisation. In this process, I met and got to know many of the people who were, or went on to be, Walthamstow Mayors and Councillors.
Ross Wyld was one of those selfless people who devote their lives to improving the lot of their fellow humans. It is one of my regrets that, although I met Doreen Wyld, I never knew her brother who died in 1963.

My Dad Pete King worked in Fords Factory before WWII. He played football for the factory too and this game led to his job. He then left to go to war and played football in the army. I live in Australia and can't do very much research about this so if someone can help with this era I loved to hear. Anything at all to add to my Dad's story would be great.
