    This photograph and No. C25692 both actually date from 13th September 1937. Brettell did not compete at Shelsley after the War.

    Brettell could not compete after the war - because he was shot by the Germans. He was one of the group of escapees in the "Great Escape" who were recaptured by the Germans and killed, as accurately portrayed in the film.
