On a (perhaps) unrelated note, do you have any idea why 'Harry's Alley' was so named?

I don't unless you are referring to West Gun Copse where he lived when I was there.

In case you missed my earlier post Matron was Jessie Rawson.

Some of the younger blokes in this photo were in Mid B. when I was, but it's a real struggle to put names to faces. Des Lockyer, Adrian Gray and a couple of McDaids spring to mind. Staff - Ratty James, Gerald Davies, Matron (ashamed I can't remember her name, but she was very nice), can't name the ...

Mrs C we posted together and my reply was for MidA15. But yes, well spotted, others worth spotting played for Wales and British Lions and from a previous link one who now sports large military type moustache to balance a big back pack. Is Roger Lane the button Grecian next to Ian? Bartholomew who i...

The great British Lion TGR (Gerald) Davies next to Matron Jessie Rawson and "Ratty" James.

ALL our clothes were issued free including games clothes, CCF uniform and boots, Housey shoes, pyjamas etc. Can't remember about rugger boots and gym shoes though ...... By 1965 not everything was supplied by the School. I remember going to John Lewis in Oxford Street where my mother had to buy all...

Richard is this your on line photo album?

Great to see a good win with a few tries!!

Thought here would be the place to ask: apart from general publishing quality improvements, what would the general consensus be on the new annual The Blue ? Any comments, ideas on what could or should be improved or changed for the coming year, re emphasis, layout I'm sure would be much appreciated...

Anyone who is on the CH database as an Old Blue, certainly all former CH Club members and thos who now receive Housey. On the other thread you've started John, you say we have to have paid to get a copy.I don't remember doing that ( ?) but I would like a copy. How do I order/pay ? In the past it's ...

Like this, you mean?

There is a resemblance from my memories of AKAP

Hope you had a great day EA and I might just sip a glass in your honour when I get home

Just for fun as we've been serious with forum finance and obituaries of late. Have you ever been told you resemble someone in the publc eye? How I would love to make the Old Hertford Girls swoon by telling them I look like Tom Cruise or George Clooney! Sadly the best I can do is Roy Cropper from Cor...
