He looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy. He really stands out from the rest of the class.

Thanks for the comments. Only found the picture a couple of weeks ago, while trying to find more about the Johnson family in Argyle Street. Sunday best for the school photo!

Perhaps it's just me but as I study each little face, every one seems to hold a wealth of different experiences. A number of these children probably were involved in World War 2, some, sadly, may have succumbed to prevalent childhood illnesses of that time and believe it or not one or two may still be around, albeit well into their 90's now.
