I was never in the Akbar but lived at no.1 oldfield cottages which was some 150 yards distance from the school and I lived there until I married,aged 23 in 1953,and I am now approaching 78. Our house was next door to the then chef of the school whose name was Evans. Ispent my childhood playin in and around the Akbar on the playing fields and the concrete "boat". The school was run like a ship and Bugle calls where made,one of my abiding memories when I with my two pals Frank Hardy & John Williams (both now passed on) went out to play over the fields in the evening my mother would say "when they sound the last post come home",Happy days! & I still get a feeling of nostalgia on the rare occasions I hear the 'last post' being trumpeted. I now live in Eastham.
