I do not remember any public Gym Displays in my time.
The Instructor in the picture is presumably Sgt. Melican. About 1915 he was succeeded by the colourful Sergeant Satchell - barrel chest, waxed moustache and prominent blue eyes. He was immensely popular, not least on account of his lurid descriptions (e.g. how to withdraw a bayonet from the body of a dead German), as also his vivid and racy anecdotes. E.g. “I hit ‘im square between the eyes. ‘Is eyes popped right out on strings, criss-crossed 2 or 3 times, then went back.”
Or his account of an incident during a boxing-bout between G.O. George, K.S, and A.L. Haskell (RR), now of Sadler’s Wells Ballet:
“George caught ‘im one right on the side of the nose [in those days an out-size one, tho’ later pruned]. ‘Is nose went right over at a right-angle- and came back with a click!”'
Inscription: 'Westminster School Tennis Plate'. Engraved with foliate pattern and the names of the winning houses 2003-2004.

The Abbey and Ashburnham House from Grant's
A view of the East Cloister of the Abbey, looking North towards the Dark Cloister; two men in clerical robes are talking in the middle ground; a couple in the background walk arm-in-arm towards the entrance to the Dark Cloister, tools and an apron are lying on the right of the foreground.
