The guy fifth from the left, back row, was a French teacher called O’Brien. He taught at Saint Mary’s RC grammar school in Linthorpe, where I went, up to the early sixties, then he moved to Grangefield Grammar Girls’ school. I ran into him once in the early 70s at a roadside cafe coming back from France to the UK.
