Who do you recognise in these old group photos?

Joan Izard sent in this photo of Central British School (today called KGV), showing the staff and students in 1939:

Joan can see her brother, Douglas Franklin:

But the others are unknown. If you can identify anyone else, please click here to see a copy of the photo you can zoom in on, and so take a closer look at the faces. Please leave a comment on that page with the names of anyone you recognise.

If you scroll down this page, you'll see more group photos, dating from the 1920s up to the 1970s. Click any photo to take a closer look, then 'Zoom' to enlarge it even more. And if you recognise anyone, again please leave a comment on that photo's page to tell us their name.

Finally, if you've got any photos to add, they'll be very welcome. Just upload your photo (click here for instructions), give it the tag: group photo, and it will automatically appear in the list below.
