Commentics 16 16 I think my father, Vincent Chambers is in the 'unknown class' photo. Back row 4th from right. He was in Brighton training school June 1942 and later went to Southmead in Wimbledon to train in Japanese Morse. He was posted to Kilindini Mombassa and then to HMS Anderson when SigInt moved back there. From Aug 43 to Mar 45 He came back to UK and worked in other secret locations till June 1946. I was able to add him to the Bletchley Park Roll of Honour.

It took me a long time to find it and it is now a hospital. Nobody in the hospital was aware it was a Naval Training school but they knew it had been a boy's school. Any chance to put up a plaque in memory of the Training School?

He served on HMS Boxer until the end of the war before going on to study German at Durham University.
Interesting to read of the training school here. Thank you.

My grandfather Fred Henderson always talked about being seconded here as an instructor since he was the best Morse Code operator in the Post Office. Imagine my surprise when I found him in the third picture, in the middle of the second row.
