RGS High Wycombe School Photograph for 1949

I am grateful to Peter Draper who scanned his copy of the 1949 photograph.
Brian Ransley then cut it up into small pieces. Brian wrote:- I've divided the 1949 photo into 7 more or less equal bits and can give you some of the names for your reference.

Rennie Vickers has since coordinated the efforts of many others (now known as the 49ers) to identify the faces in the photo and continues to be the main point of contact for this photo. You can email Rennie at
