Cambridge Daily News 1 Jan 1943: Roach caught by Reg Clarke

A fine roach. Fishing near Brazel Bridge on Boxing Day, Mr R. E. Clarke, of 51, Shelford Road Trumpington landed a fine roach 17 inches long and weighing 2 lb. It was in excellent condition and in the words of a correspondent "was evidently an old warrior, as it showed some battle scars."
