Some school photographs show
You will note in the photograph at a few boys wearing military uniform. This is because the photograph was taken on the day when the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) met after school. They were always allowed to wear their military (RAF, Army or Royal Navy) uniform on that day. [Meeds] The uniform was a relatively simple one, made up of jumper (sweater), shirt, and trousers. The photograph here is the 3rd Form in 1978-79 (figure 1). The uniform was determined by the Cadet organization, not the school. The primry difference in the varius services was color and thus do not show up in this black and white school photograph.
