Comments by Ian Procter

Please find attached a couple of photos from my school days at KBGS

The first is of form 3A of 1961-62. I am afraid I remember only a few names. I will list from left to right along the back using d/k for 'don't know'

d/k, d/k, Jim Sunderland, Stuart Humphries, Peter Snow, d/k,d/k, Chris Simpson, d/k, Arnold Lambert, d/k, Philip Borril?? Steve Chapman

Middle row: d/k, Brian Horton, Ian Procter, d/k, Chris?? Eagles, Jeff Earnshaw, d/k, Peter Manning, Andrew Procter, d/k, Stuart?? Gaines, David Baldwin, d/k

I can't remember the names of any of the front row, including the master

The second photograph is of the 'foragers' for the school camp at Kirkcudbright in 1964. The foragers were a group of senior boys selected to travel to camp early to put up the tent, dig the latrines and generally prepare. They then stayed behind to take everything down at the end. We must have been there almost a month. Wearing rugby jerseys was something of a tradition, and indeed most of us, that year at least, were members of school teams.

The people are, back row left to right: David Haigh, Jim Sunderland, Steven (Syd) Brown, Stuart Humphries

Front row from left: Ian Procter, Jeff Earnshaw, Arnold Lambert, Ian (Kaido) Nichol

The 'beshorted' figure disappearing into the washing up area is Frank Wellock, one of the PE staff, and quite recognisable on your photograph of 'Rugby XV late 1930s' - back row, 4th from left.
