Hi Barry

I’m wondering if you or any of your members know anything of the Scottish Signal School also referred to as the Glasgow Wireless College which was at 15 Newton Place, Glasgow during the war?

My son’s great grandfather is listed as principal there between 1942-1946 and then he moved his family to Rhodesia.  This is all I know!  Rhodesia at that time was the new world and many people moved there to help build the country, much like Australia and New Zealand.  I assume he would have been doing a similar trade there and been involved in wireless communications.

I’m pretty sure he would have left there as it became Zimbabwe and may have gone to South Africa or more likely USA or even returned to Scotland but I’m sure he would have remained in the trade.

His name was Charles Theodore Kennedy and he was married to an Annie Elizabeth Gibson.  They had a son in 1944 called Raymond.  If any of your members know anything about the school or remember him as a principal I’d love to hear from them!
