My father attended Watts from about 1938/1939 until 1944, when he joined the Merchant Navy. I wonder if any gentlemen out there remember him? His name was Simon Norman Griffiths and his roll number was 178. He was always known as Norman, Griff or Griffiths.

From conversations with him I believe it was a harsh environment and he was often reluctant to describe his life there. His best friend dying of heatstroke stayed in his memory all his life.

Sadly my father passed away this week, but I would be delighted to hear from anyone who remembers him.
