On a recent visit to Dunblane we were given access to the Colours Room at Queen Victoria School. This was an amazing room with many valuable Colours and mementos of "Old Boys" and Royal visits.
The photographs are not of the best as it was difficult to capture the images through glass. However, here are a few of the notable ones.

Naval ranks are a bit of a mystery to me and I'm puzzled by the award of the Distinguished Service Cross to "Mr. Joseph....."
The award of the DSC indicates an officer rank. Would he have held a "Warrant" rank??
