Ralph Hall, Monty Glover’s Lover

Ralph Hall by Monty Glover

Ralph was a lad from the docks in the East End of London. He met gay photographer Monty Glover before the Second World War, and they soon became life long lovers. Ralph’s letters to Monty, written during the war, are some of the most loving written between gay lovers. Ralph really did love the older Monty.

Soldiers and Workmen, who were also Trade, or TBH (to be had), by Monty Glover, from London and surrounding areas 1920′s

 

Soldiers and other military men since time immemorial have acted as Trade, Rent, Chow or whatever term is current, to supplement their often meagre pay.

 

* Trade = Colloquialism for male prostitute

Thanks for all these great photos, Danny. By the way, Joe Ackerley's My Father and Myself (post #378) is a fascinating book, though I don't know if it is still in print (I read it at least 40 years ago). Joe was gay, but he found out as an adult that his father was bisexual and was one of those guardsmen who had provided services for wealthy gay gentlemen.

Thank you for all your support and feedback on the the book Joe Ackerley's My Father and Myself ! I see the introduction was written by W.H. Auden and found it's still available on line and I am going to order it today!

If I were you, I would read Auden's "introduction" after you have read the book, because it seems to me to be more of a review--and a somewhat patronizing one--than a helpful introduction.
