I have got 2 framed pen drawings of the Harrogate Army Training College showing the interior. Carpenters and I think plumbing men at work. They are lovely drawings signed by George Jackson 1950. They are approx 10 x 12 inches. I have recently lost my husband and am having to move to smaller premises. Rather than sell them to an individual I would like to donate them to where they would be appreciated. Please could you provide me with an address? kind regards Irene

My brother David Michael Edwards may have been part of 60C intake – I have a vague recollection of attending his PoP when I was about 12-13 and also seem to recall him being at Arborfield.
He also won a prize for catching a large pike that was the scourge of the fishing group. He also won a prize for catching a large pike that was the scourge of the fishing group.
David died at home in Alfreton on 20 April 2026. He was medically discharged with Epilepsy around 1964-65
