((Possibly J Q Gilchrist, not sure about the others.))((Barbara Anslow: The "Wilkinson (2)" were probably Marjorie and Maureen Wilkinson aged about 11 and 12, the younger of the 3 Wilkinson girls in camp with their parents and brothers. They often sang, had very good voices. "Drewery" is probably Irene Drewery, then about 10 or 11.))
