Cadets at Cayton Bay, 1944

Members of the 4th (Cleveland) Battalion Army Cadet Force (Green Howards), on their annual Camp at Cayton Bay, 1944. Maurice Toulson advises: ’All the lads shown are from Loftus, Brotton, Staithes and surrounding districts. Many of them are still about, and a good looking lot they are still. Not old enough at the time to be in the forces, we all thought we were doing our bit for King and Country. We marched from Scarborough Station to the camp with a Pipe band, went on manoeuvres with the Airborne Forces on Fylingdale Moor, had Canadian cooks and the food was wonderful. Great times with a great set of lads.’

The only names we have so far are on the 2nd row: 5. Ken Barnet, 6. Eric Agar, 7….., 8. Harry Stonehouse, 9. Major Arrowsmith, 10. John Nicholson, ….. 16. Maurice Toulson, 17…..
