Figure 1.--Here we see Harold in July 1906. He has picked some flowers, presumably for mother. A large number of the photographs at Mallowfield show him wearing this white knickers sailor suit with short white socks. Image courtesy of the MD collection.

We firsrt see Harold at about 1904 wearing a white sailor tunic. He continues to wear tunics for only a year or so. Althouhgh he wears sailor caps and hats a year longer. A wonderful portrait showws him wearing a broad brimmed sailor hat about 1907. Harlod next bgins to wear knickers sailor suits, both with long stockings and socks. For several years most of the images we have of him show him wearing knicker sailor suits. Mostly theybare white suits, but he had colored ones as well. He then starts to wear more mature looking knicker suits. Here is is wearing cjhecked knickers, but I am nit sure what else he is wearing. Notice there is not tie for neckwear, iyb looks more like a sailor suit dickey, but a muddy blouse would not go with checked knickers. Both boys wear double breasted coats. Notice the difference in the boys' hats. Harold wears a kind of flat cap while the other boy has more of a traditional British schoolboy cap.
