Reigate Grammar School
 
Below are five images which as a whole form one panorama of the staff and pupils of the Grammar School in April 1946. The top picture is the right hand part of the original and they overlap slightly as they progress in order down to the left hand side of the picture. The picture was sent in by Mr Keith Fuller, who appears in the first picture below (picture 1/5) on the far left of the fourth row up.

Email from Roy Sims: I was delighted to discover the '46 group photos in which I appear in Nos 5.
  Top left. Purchase,Henderson,McGee,Carr,Brownlow,Saserath,Holder, and Sims. I hope to be able to identify a few more.

Email from Clive Gilbert: I am sending a few more names. Picture 4/5 Bottom row 2, 5 in, was Les Mann, then Clive Gilbert { I am writing this email } with a dark jacket then Mickey Robb.  Do you also know that fellow in row 4 from top ran around the back and appears in right hand end. He has a lock of hair over right eye.I was very surprised to see all the information about the school, It brought back memories. My only claim to fame was being in the first 15. and winning the 100yds sprint in my last year. I emmigrated to Melbourne in 1960. and have enjoyed the life immensley. Hope this is of interest to you.

Many thanks to Roy and Clive for writing in.
