Saunton Sands Prefects 1941

Prefects 1941

We have only a small official record of life at Saunton Sands 1941-1946. The author was therefore delighted to receive recently an unsolicited call from a gentleman named Brian Smith. He had been browsing in a Charity Shop in Sandwich and discovered the attached photograph of Prefects at Saunton Sands in 1941. He thought to phone to see if we might like to have the picture. Needless to say, yours truly bit his hand off! Mr Smith had thought it might have been some senior students on a field week in Devon. Some field week!!! He was amazed to hear the proper story. Saunton Sands Dukie Jim Dove was kind enough to furnish further memories of some of the pictured Prefects who were also on camera in 1942.
