Saint
Vincent training barracks |
|
For many years my Grandfather and Grandmother ran the
NAAFI in St Vincent, and for a time all my Aunties worked under them. This
photograph taken in 1957 was to mark their retirement. |

It was in 1927 that Forton barracks was
turned into the St Vincent training school for young sailors, which it
remained for 40 years until its closure in 1967. |
