War time programmes, especially reserve games, are very rare as few were printed and fans were encouraged to recycle them to help the war effort.
This reserve programme v Leytonstone, one of the many teams that merged to becameDagenham & Redbridge, was purchased at auction recently.
Cyril Hammond became a first team regular after the war and Charlie Hall was long time trainer/physio at the Valley.
H Shirmpton was Jean's brother (I may have just made that up)

Peter Etherton was Brian Kinsey's uncle and Roger Miller was King of the Road.0

Harold Shrimpton played cricket for Siemens for many years and was reputed to have turned down a professional offer from Kent.

Why were we kicking off at 3:15? I know the spanners did for ages so the dockers could get there after clocking off, but why did we?Henry Irving said:The museum has a fairly extensive programme collection post-WWII but there are still gaps before then so we were happy to pick up some rarities at auction recently. Thanks to all our donors and buyers of items on eBay and in our shop for making that possible.
First of the newly acquired programmes is from 1925. Aberdare Athletic joined the @EFL in 1921 alongside @CAFCofficial but left the league in 1927 and folded in 1928. They would have been Nathan Jones' local league club had they survived.

Working class men worked on Saturday mornings then and north Charlton was a heavily industrilised, working class area so men would leave the factories that lined the river and come to games, possibly via the pub1 -

Yeah expect a load of these too.0 -
A couple of museum volunteers were lucky enough to visit Paul Ellis, life long fan and well known to anyone who collects Charlton programmes. yesterday.
Paul also worked for the club for many years.
Paul was kind enough to loan us one of his many rare programmes, this 1921 reserve game was vExeter in the Southern League.We won 3-0 Att: 5,000.
We’re now only missing 4 Combination home programmes (2 each v Chelsea & Arsenal), a Woolwich Cup match against Woolwich and a friendly against RAF (Henlow) to complete the 1921/22 season, our first as a league club.

Is there any evidence of when programmes were first introduced at Charlton?
And do you know if the 4 you are missing from that first season are around in other collections at all or just never seen them?1 -

He's getting on a bit now and not as mobile as he was but I'm told he's still following Charlton and is up to date on what is happening at the club.ElfsborgAddick said:Henry Irving said:A couple of museum volunteers were lucky enough to visit Paul Ellis, life long fan and well known to anyone who collects Charlton programmes. yesterday.
