Dear Gordon and Listers Gordon - you don't say whatyour grammar shcool was, only that David Hughes previously taught at West Mon. Have you contacted your school?   West Monmouth Grammar School still exists and is now a comprehensive school. It has a website westmonmouthschool.com and I have in my past researches had occasion to contact the school and found them quite helpful. A polite e-mail, letter or telephone query should glean results. Interestingly the subject of my correspondence with the school was because I had a relative (or at least I thought she was a relative, later disproved) who taught French at the school during the 1950's and 1960's - Madame Francis. Friends Reunited website may also be a source of information as there are some former pupils of the school registered on it.   Best wishes in your research.
