Ian was born in 1908 and became the 12th Earl of Kintore. The boys were close in age and attended the samne schoos. There are many full page photos of Ian and Greville at St Peter's Court prep school and Eton. Here we see Ian at St. Peter's (figure 1). He would have been about 12 years old. Notice the caps with circles and the rather baggy long pants suits. We know very little about St. Peter's Court. It is no longer an active school. We are not sure where it was located, but it would have been a boarding school for boys about 8-13 years old, preparing them for their public school, in this case Eton. We see Ian participating in a school play.
Eton of course is one of the best known schools in the world.
Ian was born in 1908. We do not know a great deal about his childhood. The photographs in Lady Ethel's book began in 1920 ad by this time Ian was about 12 years old.
Most of the photographs of Ian in the album are school photographs. Ian anf his brother Greville were close in age and attended the samne schoos. There are many full page photos of Ian and Greville at their schools. Their prep school was St. Peter's Court. Here we see Ian at St. Peter's (figure 1). He would have been about 12 years old. Notice the caps with circles and the rather baggy long pants suits. We know very little about St. Peter's Court. It is no longer an active school. We are not sure where it was located, but it would have been a boarding school for boys about 8-13 years old, preparing them for their public school, in this case Eton. We see Ian participating in a school play at St. Peters. As it was an all-boys school, the boys playd bothe boys' and girl's roles. We do not know the name of the play, but the costumes make it polain that it was about the Netherlands.
The boys also attended Eton College. Eton of course is one of the best known schools in the world.
We also see Ian as an older boy in the Army Cadet Force (ACF) at Eton. The British Government ended the Cadet program after Workd War I as a budgetary reduction measure. Apparently Eton continued it without government support. After decades, the ACF had become an established tradition at many public schools.
Ian became the 12th Earl of Kintore.
