National School Photo WW1
Here is an old photograph which revived many memories and when published locally in 1939, interested not only those who are depicted but also a great many more who knew or were associated with the “young life” of Skegness in the days of the war.
It is a photograph of the pupils and staff of the Commercial (National) School, Roman Bank, Skegness, and was taken about 93 years ago – during World War 1.
Although, of course, several of those in the group were still resident in Skegness at the time of publishing and, in many cases, the fathers and mothers of families, others were scattered far and wide. Some half-a-dozen of the then scholars were unidentified, but appended is a list of those whose names were recalled.
The photo belonged to Mr Will Crawshaw who is in the picture, along with two of his brothers.
