It is possible that you will not remember me as an old student at the Commercial School, but I was a pupil there (with my brother) in 1919-20; others that I remember at the same time were Veitch, Hubble, Ewin, the Leavers, and Wood (who later went to Argles, Solicitors). I shall always have pleasant memories of No. 8 London Road, as I am sure that the short time that I had there, constituted the best of my school days. Perhaps in reading this, you will find no excuse for my writing, but as one gets a little older, one thinks about school-days and school-day acquaintances (possibly more so if abroad) as a definite link with home and childhood, and as I do not know any of Mr. McCabe's sons and daughters (I remember Mr. Stanley, but he would not remember me), would you please express to them my very sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement? This is perhaps enhanced by the fact that the late Mr. McCabe and my father were great friends, and fellow-members of the old R.A.M.C. In conclusion I will again wish you the greatest good fortune as Principal of the old School. Yours very sincerely, GEORGE W. VIGGERS, Leading Aircraftman.
