St John’s School, Porthcawl, South Wales – 1964

Marc and John arrived at St John’s in September 1962, dressed in brand new brown and red uniforms, new black shoes and a feeling of uncertainty.

I’m not sure of the exact dates that we lived in Gibraltar, but this postcard is dated 1963.
This is the only known photo of Daddy playing polo when we lived in Gibraltar. Probably in 1963.
I think Pauline was a friend to Alison and Liz but I have no idea who the other people are, or where the photos were taken. The captions are what are written on the back of the photos, where legible.
I put 1963 because they may have been friends from Gibraltar.
I had no idea that Daddy was appointed to HMS Victory, albeit for a very brief period.

From what I’ve read, HMS Adamant was a submarine depot and servicing ship, launched in 1940 and decommissioned in 1970.
