Dukies pose for the camera during the Edwardian era, when the school was located in Chelsea

Short-trousered khaki service dress and boots, worn by a 12-year-old Dukie in 1946. Gus Bainger later graduated to long trousers and in 1949 became a school prefect (rear row, extreme right) (photos kindly supplied by Lt Colonel A J Bainger)

A house photograph from the early 1950s. Service dress had been superseded by battledress in 1950 and the short-trousered type worn by the younger DYRMS boys, was unique to the school. 'One compensation was that there were now fewer brass buttons to polish - in fact, just the ones on our greatcoats' recalls Gus Bainger
