Re S314
Peter Brittle
I still remember this school trip to Switzerland. I am the second on the left and I am fairly sure that the boy who is third from the right is David Walker. I Started at South View in the September of 1957 when I was 11 and moved to Benton Park in September 1959 when the school opened. So this trip would have been in 1958 or 1959.
