I have been in contact with a fellow OG who was also in my Scout Troop, and as well as lots of yarns about the Scouts he has sent me a photo of the Staff that has been lent to him by the Archivist at Harrow School.

I am certain that it was taken in 1946, because George Neal retired in December 1945 and I am sure that the chap at the left-hand end of the back row is the replacement Art master.   I took Art for GSC and I left in 1948.

The names have been identified by Peter Lucas with additions by Colin Dickins, Roy Goldman and Brian Hester.  Brian remembers the photograph being taken, and that it was followed by one of the prefects.  Does anyone have the prefects photograph?
