HERE are some of the 15 members of the Keighley Unit of the Sea Cadet Corps who attended a training course on seamanship at the Fleet Air Arm station at Donisbristle, Fifeshire, during Easter week in 1946.

The photo was supplied by Norman Kelk, of Lawnswood Road, who has a long association with the Keighley Sea Cadets. He names the bugler as Neil Golson, who often sounded the calls on ceremonial parades and at Remem-brance Day services. "The cadet on the halyards ready to hoist the ensign is Austin Quinlan," thinks Mr Kelk, "And the cadet, second left on the front row, is Albert Lynch. The others I cannot name, but I know their faces." They are wearing the Navy rig of that period, black caps and woolly jerseys, long khaki gaiters and carrying out arms drill using Lee-Enfield Mark 3 rifles.'

The Keighley Sea Cadet Corps was first commissioned in 1943, its HQ named TS Marne after the destroyer HMS Marne, which Keighley adopted during the Second World War (and which in 1946 presented the Corps with a German bugle captured in the Aegean in 1944). Under Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve officers like chartered accountant and early Commanding Officer Lt William Sunderland, who fought at the Battle of Jutland, boys were trained p to the standard illustrated.
