"I was at Dalmarnock P.S, and the teacher I remember was Mr.French,
a fine teacher. He lived in Greenhead St. I had just started at John
St. Senior Secondary when war broke out and was evacuated to Lochmaben and
billeted with a lovely family, which although the parents are dead now, I
am still in touch with their family. I was called up to the army beginning
of 45, served for a while in the Black Watch, and after a couple of years
whilst serving in Egypt was transferred to RASC, probably because I was
playing soccer {fitba} I played with some well known names, particularly
Mike Haughney of Celtic. I could not forget that name coming from Brigton.
I hope to send a school class photograph, I think it was taken about 1934,
Ms.Stewart is the teacher in it.
I have found a long lost cousin, namely Charlie Robb, living in the U.S.A.
I hope to find a school photograph taken at Dalmarnock P.S. with yours
truly, and I am sure some of your subscribers will be in it. I think it
might have been taken in 1933-4. Keep up the good work, as it is a
fantastic web-site. G'day."

Webmaister thanks for a great job on the Dalmarnock P.S.photograph.The
boy seated front,second in from the right is William Sproul,sorry at
this stage I cannot think of any of the other names .By the way the
teacher in it was a woman. If my memory serves me right she took music
classes, but then in those days teachers taught all sorts of subjects.
G'day mate.----Joe
