Know it well.I was born Oct 1927 ,so, In about 1936 I was pushed , kicking and screaming though the gate into the school yard,I was not a happy bunny. I don't thinkI ever found out what education was supposed to every victorian, the cane was the teacher.
In August 1939 moved to the new all singing all dancing Clegwell School. Briefly, I thought this is how education should be, but, but along came Sep3rd 1939.Myself and many others were up sticked in the big evacuation, to be scattered hither and thinner to strange homes and places for the next three or more years.AND! before the war had ended I was in the army ,ready ,and, willing to defend King and Country ( including my home town HEBBURN.

History will show that within six month Mr Adolf threw in the towel. Why, you may well ask, well, he had heard that me and my best pal at the time(Peter) had joined in the war Wow! he exclaimed1 time for me to go!!!
