westleedsdispatch.com/200494-2/ Details of my book of remembrance to 66 ex Hanson Boys' High School (now Hanson Academy) that were WW2 war casualties.

Undercliffe Cemetery today. One of my absolute favourite places to visit.

My book has finally gone to print. One year of research. 66 war casualties, all ex-Hanson Boys' High School. The book also details the teaching staff, a brief history of Hanson and those that returned from war. @HansonAcademy

@VolActionLeeds The expression is neurodivergent. We are all neurodiverse. I assume this Prevent is on the back of OFSTED, who have now withdrawn a link between neurodivergent young people and radicalisation from their training manual.

Taking part in the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate on Thursday 23rd October 2025. @lastpostieper

Tonight I took part in the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate and lay a CWGC biodegradable wreath on behalf of men named on Farnley War Memorial and ex-Hanson Grammar School boys, casulaties in both World Wars. It was both emotional and humbling. @HansonAcademy

Please take a few moments to read these stories and reflect on the sacrifices these men made.

@CWGC I am a volunteer on this project, a wonderful opportunity to ensure these men are commemorated by CWGC.

@EmmaC_TandA @HansonAcademy They were truly tragic. Of the 50 ex Hanson boys, at least 15 died as a result of accidents or aircraft failure. Or mistaken identity and died from Allied Forces.

@EmmaC_TandA @HansonAcademy They really are most tragic stories. So many young men that died through accidents, aircraft failure or mistakes by allied forces.
