Pupils and teachers of the West Coast Infant School taken
in September 1970. |
This was taken on board an RFA ammunition ship called
Fort Rosalie. On the scan image are the names of some of the
children in their own handwriting. The tall teacher in the middle
was the head of the school, and Margaret (a teacher) is on the
right.
Margaret said that this little group were about 5-6
years old in September 1970, and that they all left school at the end of
term together to return to UK. |
