The match was played 10-12 May 1946.
"M S Bernard" is Marcel Bernard.
"Destreman" should read Bernard Destremeau.
"Olliff" is John Olliff.
"Pellezza" should read Pellizza (Pierre Pellizza).
"Derek Barton" should read Derrick Barton.
"Ivon Petra" should read Yvon Petra.
"According to the old file the singles matches were Henry Billington against Pelleza" - actually it was Donald MacPhail against Pellizza. That fact confirmed here......
