I am trying to trace a portrait and Rugby shirt loaned to Rugby Gentleman’s Club around the 1970s by my deceased father Arnold Rickards. The portrait and Rugby shirt belonged to his father, (also Arnold Rickards) who played Rugby for Wales and Cardiff in the 1920s. The items were never returned to him. Can anybody be of assistance? Many thanks. Claire Rickards
