I have a cigarette case which was presented to my late father probably in the 1950s or 60s, along with his name are the initials L W H F. Does anyone know what these stand for?

What industry was he employed in ?

Was he a sportsman ?

Sorry, I meant to say L might stand for Lydney and he did play hockey so I don't know if that could be the H. It wasn't to do with his work.

Sorry but nothing is "leaping off the page" - will need some more context to assist !

otherwise on a snowy day my imagination might just go wild ...

Lydney Wreck Hunting Federation

Lydney & Woolaston Hospital Fund

Lydney Wet Hockey Field

Lydney Welfare Hockey Finalist

London Welsh Hockey Friend

Lydney & West Haulage Federation

Lydney Wales Hot Foundry

Lydney Wet Harbour Fund

Lydney Weymann Hauliers Festival

Lydney Watts Hotel Factors

<stop !> any combination allowed !

If you carry on like that it will be:

Lying With Head Fracture!

Probably no help, but acronyms.thefreedictionary.com lists LWHF as
"Acronym Definition - LWHF Lightweight Hellfire (missile)"

I did the obvious, Google LWHF. Things did come up in association. Left Wing, Hockey Federation, Lydney and Wales. Not an answer, but might activate someones memories.

Yes, very imaginative and funny but I can't believe it! Slowhands doesn't instantly know the answer, I thought you knew everything. OK so it isn't exactly a family history question although it is my family history. I keep thinking it is hockey related but all the letters don't seem to fit. I know your Haulage idea was a joke but actually he did work for BRS at one time in the office though and he was a shop steward in the Union at Pine End.

Light hearted as my suggestions appear (!) it would not suprise me for several of the words to appear in the solution to this puzzle :-)
