    This is my oldest. It was July 1946. At the end of the Summer term Primary One were hearded out into the bitterly cold 'Summer' weather. I am back right in white. The butcher's twins are beside me. My first girlfriend is somewhere there. She was really sweet.

      Well done Tiswas. That is how most of us learn to use computers. Tapping something - anything.

      Here to go with my school photo and issued in June 1946 to every school child. (This is the Scottish version.). I was a bit puzzled. I didn't think I had done anything for the King and the war.

      Yes it is. The photo looks as if the souvenir is dirty. That is just reg photo. The souvenir is printed on light card, uniformly light Ivory in colour. Just the thing for your interest in social history.

      Does anyone have an English version of this Royal communication? If so please upload a photo of it.

      The English version I expect will be identical except that the English Royal armoral bearings will be at the top.
