An original programme of a boxing tournament that took place in The Guildhall Winchester December 1942 between No4 Cdo and No3 Cdo.

The piece just before the interval reads:

'The Highlight of the evening. Terrific blood-bath brought to you at much expense.

'Tiger'Sam Ham V 'Butcher' Salley Halliday.

Thought I'd share

For clarity you may have to download.

I will try to supply a better copy

I've converted the names in the images into text, so search engines can find the names.

Much appreciated......

There is a typo in the original programme. 3 Commando middle weight was Mapplebeck. The first tournament took place on the 17th December 1942 at Weymouth. The programme for the first is in the gallery, this must have been the return match.

Sadly, Harper and Jarrom were killed in action on Sicily. Jarrom was a very useful boxer, he was Northern Command welter weight champion.
