Eric Liddell & Cerrino ...
[updated: Monday, February 22, 2021 ]
Hello I notice you have a photo of my great uncle Walter Cerrino standing with Eric Lidell.
The little girl was Walter's daughter Gladys known as Betty the second photo was his first wife also Galdys.
I wonder if a date can be worked out for the photo? The daughter was born in 1920 so looks 7/8/9 would that match any information?

Subject: Information regarding Walter Cerrino and Eric Liddell photo
Dear Mr Pander and the Weihsien Archivists,
I am writing to you as a direct descendant of Walter Cerrino. I recently came across your wonderful archive online, specifically the page tracking the photograph of my ancestor alongside Eric Liddell in Tianjin.
Our family still proudly holds a copy of this photograph, which features Walter running with a Union Jack on his chest, standing next to Eric Liddell.
I wanted to share a few details from our family records to help fill in the blanks on your page:
• The Runner's Name: His name was Walter Cerrino.
• The Little Girl: The young girl wearing the traditional Scottish kilt is his daughter, Betsy Cerrino (noted on your site as Betty).
Thank you so much for your incredible work in preserving this history. If you are interested, I would be happy to share more about our family history or provide any further details I have.
Warm regards,
Faye Cerrino
