ORIGINAL MESSAGE NAME: Derek White05 January 2012 CONNECTION WITH QE: pupil 1955-62 I've had this badge for years and always thought it was from my blazer or my brother's (Kerry White). He was there 1949 - 1955 then me from 1955 - 1962 not sure if it was his or mine. However it differs considerably from Ian Sadler's badge already in the museum bits and pieces - could it be an OE badge? It is very ornate compared to the 1953 badge - anyone know? Additionally, when I was in 1A our form room was Alfie's (S E Alford) and I think known as Room G or was it? For once I can't remember - can any body help out? | ||

NAME: Phil Ward DATE: 11 February 2012 CONNECTION WITH QE: pupil 1935-44 The badge I remember (on blazers from Stevens outfitters) is Ian Sadler's. I always wondered why they didn't use the Tudor Rose, but I suppose the use of two Yorkist roses to one Lancastrian was a subtle way to acknowledge how it all turned out in the end. Derek White's badge is new to me. What on earth the rather Stuart looking crown and the portcullis with the 'sunburst' behind the Yorkist rose have to do with QE beats me! ADSUM! | ||
