From Tony Hollingsworth – At school and when we were in the Cadets he was always known as ‘Bags’ I never did find out why but think it had something to do with him always Bagging twos up on your Ciggy or whatever you had that he wanted when you finished! He was a keen sportsman and I remember he was brilliant at Tennis of all things which was unusual from our walk of life at that time.
