The following is a list of the former pupils who were casualties and as far as we have been able to, includes information and photographs to tell the stories of these men. In some case, we have little or no information about some of these individuals, so please get in touch if you have anything which could help us fill in the gaps and help us tell their stories.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

    D-Day The term D-Day refers to a specific date for a planned operation, often a military attack. However, the term D-Day has also become synonymous with the allied attack on the beaches of Normandy which took place on 6th June 1944. Photo courtesy of Chief Photographer's Mate (CPHoM) Robert F.

This map shows which countries were controlled by Nazi Germany in 1942. The Atlantic Wall Strongholds secured by Germany in France were fiercely defended and Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of fortifications - known as the Atlantic Wall - along the coastal regions of north- western Europe and Scandinavia in preparation for an expected Allied attack by Great Britain. Note: Britain occupied the Faroe Islands and Iceland during the war. Photo courtesy of User:Uberstroker (@wikicommons) - granted under creative commons licence Operation Overlord From early on in the war, it was clear that in order to secure Allied success, the liberation of north-west Europe from German control was vital. The Allies made plans to try and drive the Germans out of France. They planned Operation Overlord - a huge military assault which would combine naval, land and airborne attacks on the Germans in France. Operation Overlord Every detail of the operation was so intricately planned that it took over two years to put the plan into action. Operation Overlord was the biggest military operation the world had ever seen and was a collaborative effort between more than 12 countries.

  • The Fisher Hugheses of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland: Oral Tradition to Documented Genealogy
    genealogy Article A “Fishy Tale”? The Fisher Hugheses of Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland: Oral tradition to Documented Genealogy Jenny Swanson Independent scholar; [email protected]; Tel.: +44-01235-536781 Received: 8 June 2017; Accepted: 14 July 2017; Published: 24 July 2017 Abstract: The surname HUGHES (several spelling variants) was numerous amongst the fishers recorded in 19th century censuses for Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland. A twentieth-century oral tradition in at least one HUGHES branch held that the family fished in Pittenweem for “hundreds of years”. This study aimed to examine the tradition, using sound genealogical research techniques of record collection, critical assessment, comparison and analysis, and briefly sets the results in historical context. Lack of information from local vital records created some difficulties, but contextual strategies (for example collection of data for collateral relatives; analysis of baptismal records—particularly witness data—for social connections and possible occupation of baby’s parents) were used as supplements. Alternative strategies proved effective. Evidence was found for fishers in every generation of this direct male line for at least 200 years, with a possible paper-trail for nearly 300 years. A wider question arises over whether the many HUGHES fishers of Pittenweem were from one biological family. Records back to the 1720s suggest this is possible, but lack of earlier paper documentation allows alternative interpretations. Two members of the wider family have had Y-DNA testing which provided a good match—it was concluded that additional samples from descendants of particular, documented, 18th century lines might resolve this issue. Keywords: genealogy; oral traditions; inherited occupation; Scottish fishers; Hughes of Pittenweem 1.
