THE ARBORFIELD APPRENTICE

 

School Magazine of The Arborfield Army Technical School (Boys)

 

The magazines reproduced in the following pages are an important part of the history of the Arborfield Army Technical School, subsequently known under a variety of titles.  In themselves they are of historic value, being the first four editions printed of the school magazine.  Volume 1, Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4.  They cover a period when the school underwent major changes, and dispersal of the apprentices to various areas of the U.K. to continue their training, during the build up to the Normandy invasion, the camp being used to house the gathering troops.  The new cap badge was also introduced as the Volume 1, No.3 icon below shows.

 

We are indebted to Brian Walker 55B, ex Chepstow Army Apprentices School, who has made these documents available to us for the web site, and also for the work he undertook to prepare the pages for us.
