Heswall Nautical Training School otherwise known as "Akbar"
I served there for 3 years, during which period lifetime friendships were formed. A period when wayward youth was controlled and encouraged to grow with a new purpose in life.
The Captains name was Martin Johnson, other Officers were Banard,Evans, Daly, Smith (Plumber) Old man Hewitt was the cranky old farmer, Humphries, Curly Cahill (Chef) and Old Jilty the RSM, Cheshire was the Deputy Captain, those were the days when the troops were employed on the Bunker behind the Starboard Divisions, when also the Chapel was built, the soccer oval was organised, Days when the Band would march through the streets of Heswall,and create enough noise to wake the dead. Proud of those Days? Too Right I Am....Thankfull to all those who served there be they Staff or Troops, the impact of all my experiences there have served me great over the last 50 odd years. To all these people - I Salute you.
Anyone looking for photo's of the Dear Old Ecadamy? or would like to make contact.. Your welcome to email me.
Cheers People..
