Reflections in closing

the strange richness of the webs that link us, in time and space


both Cyril and Percy enlisted via the H.A.C. Was this coincidence ? Was it known as a fast-track for would-be pilots ? Was there a specific Chatteris/Cambridgeshire link ?


the vagaries of the class system in 1914-18. All four men remembered here were much of a class. Two became officers. The one who was probably the most-highly educated of the 4           ( A.K.G., who did Higher School Certificate, and was remembered on the old MGS honours boards) never advanced beyond L.A.C.


I have no current links to Squires in Chatteris, though the genes persist, strongly !
