Bulawayo lunch reunions
"If you are in or around Bulawayo wanted to let you know there are often
informal lunch gatherings of oldmiltonians (Milton Old Boys and Girls)
wanted to suggest that if you contact Ioakeem Kehayias at his email
he can let you know when and where they
will be meeting next, would be great for any old miltonians to stop by
and catch up"

Susan Hubert. 28 September 2017
Jane Edington Cutler, a former colleague at Milton High donated 4 Facts
for Maths books to Milton School. I (Susan Hubert) handed them over to
the Head of Matematics, Mr Tangawamira (left) and the Headmaster, Mr
Ncube on her behalf. These books will be given to the second set to
prepare for their exams.
Thank you Jane for this very generous gesture. Mr Tangawamira and Mr
Ncube were overjoyed to receive the books, as will the boys who will be
using the, I have no doubt.

Here are the photos you are looking for. The one on the right is of me
rehearsing to be parade commander at Inkomo Training Centre for the
Ceremonial March Past where the salute was taken by Lord Malvern (rather
nerve wracking because the troops were behind me and I could not see
what they were doing!). A consequence of winning the sword was being
offered a place at Sandhurst Military College - but instead I decided to
take a Commerce degree at UCT and become an accountant - I must have
been nuts!
The following is a quote from the 1956 Miltonian magazine; “Cadet 2/Lt
J.S. Pugh is to be congratulated onon winning the Sword of Honour, the
highest honour to be awarded to a cadet”.
Best wishes
John

I was delighted to find back copies of the Miltonian on your website.
Thanks very much - this brought back lots of old memories. I am writing
to let you know that the link to 1970 Jubilee issue does not work. I
would have tried to report this via the “Contacts” link - but that
doesn’t work either!
Hoping you can get these fixed
Regards
Hugh Constable ( MHS 1968 and 1969)

Austin Ratcliffe (RIP)
Hello Fellow Miltonians
Sadly, I came across the news today that Austin Ratcliffe passed away
last night (24/5 February 2017). Many of our friends will remember him
from our Milton Days of 1958-1963. He spent much of his working life with
Rhodesia Railways, was an Admins Member of the 'Staff and Family of
Rhodesia Railways' Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/rhodesiarailwayemployees/members/) and
was living in Dorchester, Dorset. He is deeply mourned by his family and
many friends.
Kind regards
Ron Exelby

I am very grateful to your site for its help. I very much appreciate
your help
