This is Ralph Hall, Montague Glover's devoted lover of 50 years beginning in 1930. It isn't clear whether Ralph was one of Mr. Glover's working boy contacts or simply a pickup with whom
he fell in love. Google their loveletters to get a sense of the depth of their relationship.
We especially knew why he loved this man when we saw how nature had spoiled him!
ReplyDeleteRight.
DeleteHis member's clearly visible, but appears SO low, b/c everyone wore high-waisted slacks then! 😜🌭
ReplyDeleteRight, that was the style.
DeleteLuckily their correspondence, love letters and Glover’s photographs survived being destroyed by what could have been crass and offended relatives. Important documents that provide a window of homosexual life in Britain in those times. 🇬🇧
ReplyDeleteFortunately, they both lived long enough that their mementos were not seen as embarrassing, but valuable historical items.
Delete'n baie goed-bedeelde minnaar, Hall was 'n ware liefde en metgesel vir Glover /
ReplyDeletea very well endowed lover, Hall was a true love and companion to Glover
