Re: Survivors from the Forties.

Hi Derek

The German teacher was Ma Whitehead. I am the boy with dark skin and black eyes sitting in front of her. To my right is John Poppleton and to my left is Bryan Ramsden, who were both in my form for the whole of my 7 years at KBGS. In front of me is Brian Spencer (brother of violinist Joan) and to his left Kenneth Watson (if my memory hasn’t failed me). They were probably in their first year at the time, but I knew them as they lived near me
.
Regarding the cricket team – as Geoff Clapham was captain I think it would be dated around 1939-40 as that was the year he was capped (see photo in Uniforms section). He also was a near neighbour of mine, but was several years older than me.

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1937-44

Current location (optional) Huntingdon
