Old school teams - Pre-war sport

In the 1930s my father went to Caterham School in Surrey where he was very keen on playing Rugby. He kept many team photos, several signed on the back. I am putting these here in case any of these men or their descendants recognise them. Most of them would have fought during World War Two.


On the back of the 1939 Rugby photo are these signatures:- Colin H Humly, G. Rawlinson, Roger C Howard, Peter F Boast, G P Martindale, John Emryl Price, David H Bond Thomas, J V Ware (my Dad), Raymond W A Bottoms, Basil J Turton, Paul Beeby, Kenneth G Evans, Donald G Molsly, W Price Edwards and K F Richards.


There are only 2 signatures on the 1939 hockey team:- Anthony G Hall and Denis G W Brind.


The 1939 cricket team bears no signatures.


The 1936 Rugby team includes;_ Tom Evans, Denis K Britton, David Whalley, J B Ainsworth, D. Jackson, Donald M Berry, L F Berry, Alan H Mathias, David D Lowcock, E J Howard, ? Paxton, G Andrews-Speed, D Jackson and Joshua Pay

There are no signatures on the back of the 1937 hockey team or the 1940 rugby team.



This unlabelled photo may be team Captains or Prefects. It includes Denis G W Brind from the 1939 hockey team plus Kenneth G Evans from the 1939 rugby and Denis K Britton from the 1936 rugby team. In addition David E Jenkins, John Webb,  R W McNeil and C Wells signed the back.
