I've added this wonderful photo to the article at https://bl.ag/biles, documenting the life and work of Bridport's George Biles. It shows him on the first day of his apprenticeship at Frederick Barrett & Sons in 1914.
The picture is among a collection of archival images and other items shared by Biles' surviving family, some of which will be shown in the exhibition that starts next Thursday: https://www.bridport-tc.gov.uk/george-biles-lottery-project/.
