AS WE WERE - COSFORD

These pages include material from our time at Cosford, recent recollections of those days, other content related to Boy Entrant service and after leaving Cosford. Very few boy entrants had a camera, but some did and have provided photographs. Other pictures of the 24th included here are taken from the Cosford Magazines of 1956, a November 1955 article in the Birmingham Sunday Mercury and the official entry photographs. Many thanks to all who have contributed material for this record. Other contributions welcome.
