Re: Miscellaneous Photographs - "Over the wall".

I was in the Town Centre this morning chatting to Derek Newiss amongst others, when I spotted a certain John H Learmonth approaching. I had previously spoken to him about a week or so ago, about him having been 'mentioned in despatches' on the KBGS website, and on this occasion I asked him directly if he had ever been Head Prefect. He replied,"No, but Mick Green had". So there you have it- 'straight from the horse's mouth'. He may well have given the impression to younger boys at School, that he was something a little more than a 'common or garden' Prefect, but he was never a 'Head'. So, you were right, Terry.

David,
Thanks for putting the record straight. I doubt that he will remember me but I have never forgotten him.
