Recall of Jack's big race

Jack Barlow.

LETTERSFrom Rev. David Bevington, Shalfleet:

IT was a happy coincidence that you re-printed, on his 98th birthday, news of a 1935 athletics victory by Jack Barton, Shalfleet's oldest resident.

Looking back, 75 years ago (CP, 12-03-10) stated: "J. Barton won the second annual cross-country race between IW and the 43rd Light Infantry in Newport.

Barton finished in a time of 32 minutes 57 seconds".
