“I have just been appointed a Lieutenant and Adjutant and have been sent here on a course which is delightful. Noel
Hudson (at SES 1903-1912) is on the same course which is splendid and we often ramble about in our odd half hours.
I met Fairweather (Leslie Fairweather at SES 1909-1912) about a week before he was killed. I did not recognise him
or rather I could not put a name to him, he was very small when I left school. Reckitt (at SES 1902-1907) is still
going strong or was when I left him about a fortnight ago.” (Reckitt survived the war.)
