A few observations re the Strand. Firstly the Headmaster’s name was Dawe not Dawes. Interesting to see Alnwick’s name; he was there in the 30s teaching I am not sure what. I remember him as a small spare man with rather thick spectacles and a permanent look of surprise on his face.
The attachment refers to something I remember very well as these guys were my contemporaries. Family funds did not run to school trips of this sort otherwise I might have been amongst them. I mailed the Archivist at KCH for this info. which she got from ‘The Times’. Let me know if you get the attachment. Finally on the subject of the D-Day crossword puzzle I suggest any doubters look at the following link:

Again I was there! I think somebody said there were no US troops in Bookham. True but they were in Epsom - I think the 30th Division, their shoulder flash was a large GO.
