Jeffery Broxholme has a constant reminder of his visit to the Scout World Jamboree near Paris in 1947 - thanks to his Brownie box camera.

He took numerous photographs of the event, which attracted Scouts from many countries.

It appears that Mr Broxholme is not the only former Scout to have copies of his photographs.

Two pictures - identical to his - were sent in by David Savage, of Droitwich, near Worcester, along with his recollections of the Jamboree (Memory Lane, Sept- ember 10).

Mr Broxholme is not sure how Mr Savage came by the photographs as he can't remember giving copies to him.

However, he has now supplied five more pictures, one showing the whole Oxfordshire party at the Jamboree and others of smaller groups. For many boys, the trip to Paris was their first overseas.

Mr Broxholme, who now lives at Milton-under-Wychwood, recalls: "It was a bit awe-inspiring. The site had been a Second World War battleground only three years earlier.

"There was a pillbox there and we found bullets all over the place."

The Scouts had to pay £15 for the trip - a considerable amount of money in those days - and some troops could muster only one or two boys.

But the small village of Long Hanborough provided four, thanks largely to the efforts of Scoutmaster Bert Bridges.

Mr Broxholme tells me: "Although he didn't come with us, he made all the arrangements and was fantastic."
