These post are a long time ago but I'm hoping someone might have some information about Harry Mann, I believe he was a friend of Sammy Reynolds and assisted in training him in his early training sessions. Harry boxed in the Booths and has a medal presented by Jem Mace, he was also a small man so presumably boxing in the lighter weights

Hi,
My Grandad was Charlie Reynolds who married my Nan Irene. They were from Wolverhampton (a large family) but moved to Newton Abbot where I grew up. There daughters Karen and Julie still live in Newton, Karen is my Mum. I’ve been trying to find some pictures of my Grandads side as I have just finished a 25 year career in the Army and spent some time boxing. Would be great to find out anymore info. Matt.
