Rob, I picked up a collection just before Xmas from the daughter of an ex Motherwell and Scottish International player, Wislon Humphries. In the collection there's a lot of memorabilia relating to his time in the army football teams from 49-50 to 51-2 when he did his national service. A lot of the programmes have gone, but I have a couple somewhere, as well as the Welsh League 1952 programme you require (it has a slightly distressed back cover where small holes have appeared on the fold, otherwise very good condition)
The memorabilia I have includes 6 postcards from the Army vs Germany Army at the Berlin Olympic Stadium in 1950. They're superb; a player's badge from the shirt (Wilson's, obviously) two army team photos - one for a game vs Irish League in Belfast in 1950, and the other against Villa in 1951 (I have the programme for that as well) a couple of related letters to the army about his play, and a team photo of the army team out in Belgium, lined up before the game.
I also had signed menus from these games but they have gone.
If there's anything of interest let me know - would prefer an exchange.

Bit of a longshot, but does anyone know the date for the above game?

I know the British Army occasionally faced foreign armies other than the annual Belgium & France fixtures (e.g. Portugal in 1957; and Greece in 1961) but I haven't been able to find the details for this match.

Many thanks, HJ
