Those words from the school song have come back to me many times over the years, especially on the rare occasions that I have met, or heard about, an Aston Old Edwardian.
So it seemed to me that my pages about KEGS Aston would not be complete without an attempt to list my contemporaries and their last known hiding places!
The great credit for much of this information must go to Friendsreunited.
Here is my list of the lads from the 1950 intake for whom current (or last) locations are known. Because I was also friendly with some of the 1951 intake I have listed them , separately, as well.
