This picture is from the same era as Alan's picture #2246 and may be also of some interest.
Unfortunately, having lost the list of names,I can only name the names of the three officers, from left to right, with any accuracy.
Lieut. Stevie Brodie, Capt.William(Bill)Burges, and Lieut. David Logie.
Perhaps if Dan(Grieve)or Vinnie(Linklater) see this ,they can give us the rest of the names.
Failing that,I will give a "stab" at a few more names at a later date.
P.B.

The goalie is Doey Craigie and on his left is John Donaldson. Dan is on Capt. Burgess's left and am I right in saying it is Vinnie on his right?

I think Vinnie is 1st left on front row. I think it is Vinnie's brother Harold on the left of Bill Burges as you look at picture.

On the goalies right hand side looks very like the late David Kemp formerly an accountant with Foubister and Bain.

See what your getting at Whassigo, but David was a small light built man. In the picture compare him with Doey and John Donaldson and that lad looks similar in size. I would guess that's not David Kemp. Anyone come up with all the names yet?

Surprise, surprise-I have found the aforementioned "missing" list of names which I compiled some years ago.
Back row of four lads:- from left to right:-
David Flett, Harold Linklater, Dan Grieve, Syd Laughton.
Front row:- from left to right:-
Vincent Linklater, Jim Monkman, Bertie Craigie, George(Doey)Craigie, Ronnie Park, Rognvald Kemp, Jim Stephen.
I have to say that these were the names given to me after making several different enquiries around Kirkwall and I am bound to say that the lad third from the right (front row) is more like John Donaldson in my opinion.
I hope someone can prove me right or wrong!

In my previous comment I omitted to say that the picture was taken at the Stromness Football Pavilion during the season 1933-1934, and was the first ever competition between Kirkwall and Stromness teams of The Life Boys.
Unfortunately I have no idea of the score.

Could he be a relation of Dave Kemp's wife. Very like his daughters.
