The picture is a poignant one because 5 of the boys were subsequently killed in WWI. Their names are on <a href="http://www.deddingtonhistory.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/8719/ThemennamedontheWarMemorial.pdf">the War Memorial</a>
Joe Hiorns, W(alter) Hancox, Albert Gardner, W(illia)m Wilkins, Henry Churchill. There is a ? after Churchill's name on the handwritten list so as Henry would have been 13 in 1900 there is doubt because the boy in the pic may be younger than that.
