Minchenden 1947 School Trip. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Ian Campbell’s Papers. Who Is E. Taylor? April 24, 2008. The most surprising item in Ian’s papers, are his letters to his parents from the school trip. Now in that time of austerity, it would be reasonable to assume that this might have been a day out in a coach to Canvey Island, Southend or Brighton. Paris and Provence or the Seventh Heaven. Was it Stevenson who said, “It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive”? 8221; olives, peaches,...

Ian has now arrived where he will stay for the remainder of the holiday. Dear Mum and Dad. French novels as best I can. The heat, too, I still find a little trying. I feel also that my French is not making the progress it ought to because of lack of conversational facilities. Yours truly, Ian. This entry was posted in France.

April 27, 2008. Miss Smith was one of the teachers mentioned in the original post. On the trip, written in the school magazine by Erica Taylor. She never taught me, but I always felt she was a stern and rather distant figure. This letter shows her in rather a different light. Dear Mr and Mrs Campbell. What we wan...

This is the last real letter from France and is just a postcard from Monte Carlo. Just a scrawl written in a car in Monaco. We are now entering Monte Carlo. I must write quickly so that I can post this in Monaco with a Monaco stamp. I have just visited Nice. This entry was posted in France. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Minchenden 1947 School Trip. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Ian Campbell’s Papers. Le Lac, Tourettes. To-day as we Celebrate Victory. April 25, 2008. This document was found in Ian’s papers. It was given to every school child in 1946, to commemorate victory in World War 2. Note the spelling of to-day with a hyphen. I wonder how many of them still exist. Two friends claim that they have them somewhere, so they can’t be that rare. This entry was posted in Document. Le Lac, Tourettes. Le Lac, Tourettes.
