Group of friends c1946

PUP-GEN-1940-011E

Donated by JR Fellowes-Prynne (F49) At least a few of the group of fifteen are in Franklin. The pupils are Shells or at least quite young. The photo is labelled 'S.M.C.R. + Rose'. The only Rose in the school in the 1940s was in Salisbury, so SMCR could be Salisbury Middle Common Room but it is not a term I know.
