Scope and content
One copy annotated on reverse by R.S. Chalk, as follows:
'1918-1924
I am not certain what ‘Sub Target Practice’ implied. The ‘diamond’ badge on the right sleeves of the two corporals was a proficiency badge - I believe gained by passing ‘A Cert’. By 1918 slacks (as in the picture) had given place to breeches and puttees, worn by all in uniform.
This picture is particularly valuable as providing a good portrait of the excellent Sergeant Bowler, School Sergeant 1900-1936 one of that magnificent band of School Servants etc who served the School so faithfully for the first quarter of this Century. ‘Sergeant’ was the friend of all, except the recalcitrant. By 1918 he had ceased to have anything to do with the A.T.C. - his parades were limited to twice-weekly Penal Drill (a salutary corrective and deterrent, abolished by H.C.W. about 1923). ‘Sergeant’ was always on duty. I believe I last met him up School in the Spring of 1936 - if so, only a few weeks before his death on 9.4.1936- in harness.'
