This photo accompanies a contribution by Ken Young to the Spring 2002 newsletter and is taken on Ostend quay in 1936. Ken wrote in the text 'I am sure you will recognise the handsome features of Jack Long. The caps we are wearing were part of the Dinant school uniform. What made this trip so memorable was the return of the Rhineland to Germany. This resulted in quite a lot of martial activity, bridges having been mined and endless marching and counter-marching.'

[The text might be referring to the militarization of the Rhineland by Germany on 7th March 1936.]
