Date Added: 09 August 2011 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1948 Picture No: 975

Photographs and images courtesy of Joan Park who has submitted some of her father, Hamish Park’s photographs from his days at Glentress Forester Training School in 1946-48.

The image shows events and organisation of the Glentress School sports day thought to be in summer 1948 when the 1946 and 1947 intake students numbering about 60 would be participating (or at least some of them).
Joan and her mother Jean comment:

‘Tossing the caber....just too small to see.... but person next to the caber man is Tom Robbie’

Can anyone name any members of the group watching the caber man or indeed the caber man himself?
