Pix From The Past

Wally Ingraft, formerly of Gisborne and now of Wellington, and a noted New Zealand sports writer, sent us these pictures of sporting personalities in Gisborne around 1924-26.

They included one published last issue of the late Mrs Ivan Bramwell (Nancye Eastwood), who was one of the finest all-round athletes Gisborne ever produced.
