I recently made a visit to the OM Website and on inspecting the Register of members noticed that there was reference to our oldest recorded member Eric Haslam who left the School in 1935.
I don’t whether you are aware that Eric died aged 96 on 21st April, 2014.
He was a distinguished Police Officer who was the holder of the OBE and the Queen’s Police Medal for outstanding service.
I served with him at Gravesend in the Kent Force and later followed his career when he became Deputy Chief Constable of Kent and later Chief Constable of the British Transport Police

Hello Denys,
Eric Haslam was my great grandfather and was able to watch a few of my home cricket matches whilst I was at MGS. He always spoke fondly pf his time at the school and enjoyed his rugby there. We still have his school reports and planner – which make some interesting reading. If you have any further information you’d be able to share on your time with Eric that would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
James Houldsworth
