Benmore Forester School class Circa 1936

Date Added: 27 December 2009 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1936 Picture No: 554

Photograph courtesy of Don MacLeman whose father Alex MacLeman was in this student class and is thought to be one hidden behind the man on the extreme right.

This is a work in progress item. Note that in the large version the numbers against each man refer to the same numbers in the photograph No 553. The letters against some students are where there is some doubt about cross matching the students in both photographs.

Your help is required to name people and cross match the letters and numbers.

Hi - I think the gentleman sitting third from the left (with a piece in his left hand!) is my Uncle Jim Chrystall (No 9 in the large picture). My Father, Jock Chrystall was in the preceding year's class. Comment left on 21 November 2011 at 16:49 by Moira Chrystall
The gentleman in the dark suit holding the cup and saucer at the front left was my father William MacDonald Comment left on 08 October 2013 at 21:35 by Robert MacDonald
No 6 in this photograph has been identified as Robert Allison by his daughter Freida Murray. It appears as though this was the 1936-1938 class and the corrected date of the photograph should read 1938! Comment left on 07 October 2014 at 15:29 by Norman Davidson
