ATTENTION! All former members of the King Charles 1 Army Cadet Force are needed for a reunion.

John Birch, 63, of Habberley, said: "About a third of the school were in the cadets. It was not compulsory but it got you out of lessons and you went away to camp every year."

Mr Birch is very keen to make contact with any of the group with a view to organising a reunion to mark the 50th anniversary of a photograph of all the cadets of the former King Charles I School in Bewdley Road, taken in 1955.

Faces he remembers include the headmaster John Drake, his old friend Roger Bywater, Peter Picken, Kidderminster police's former chief superintendent, Tony Bachelor, the former principal of Kidderminster College, and Martin Underwood, who went on to play international rugby for England.

Mr Birch can be contacted on 01562 632824.
