Roald Ekholm

Well, I have finally received a response to my letter that I sent to Roald several months ago. He has replied with the story about how he came to be a student at BFC from 1943-45. He has also included a picture of a much younger Roald at that time. Over the next week or so I will put the highlights of that adventure for that is what it could only be for a boy of 12 or so at that time during the war on the high seas.
Below is a picture of Roald in his uniform with the BFC crest just visible on his blazer pocket.
