Thank you to Edward Thomson for

"This was the
uniform worn on sports days. It is myself, aged eight in 1936.
I was Captain of Bangholm house.
There is a downside to this.
On my way back from Wardie that day, I
was attacked by three "yobs" from the Granton area who resented my blazer
and ripped it up.
They also got my trousers messed with
tar in Boswall Green which had just had the road resurfaced."
