I was also lucky enough to spend a couple of years at the military school in Singapore (1969-71) and when I came back to the UK after two years away and slotted back into the same class in the same school in England I was streets ahead of my classmates - so Singapore must have been a great school, academically.<br /><br />I kept that &quot;lead&quot; up after I came back from Mauritius so I'm pretty sure that my education also kept up while I was there.<br /><br />As you and others have said, the best part of it all was having the &quot;Mauritian Experience&quot; which is an education all of itself, and one that no classroom anywhere else in the world could have replicated. I wouldn't trade that for the world, and memories from those days will last all of my life.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ian &nbsp; http://www.hmsmauritius.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1285607390/3#3 HMS MAURITIUS by Chris & Mart/Contact  Friends & keep in touch http://www.hmsmauritius.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1285607390/3#3 My sister and I were there between May 1974 and March 1976 - Susan &amp; Ian Hunneybell.<br /><br />Dad was FCREA Brian Hunneybell who was down at Tombeau Bay receiver station.<br /><br />Mr Hague! I do remember you, with reverence I must add. Ever since the day told the class that the capital of Holland was the same as your name - The Hague - I have remembered both their capital and my teacher that day!<br /><br />I was short and pretty quiet, and a bit of a swot if truth be told, but I did enjoy school in general and my schooldays in Mauritius in particular.<br /><br />William, I don't recall your name but we may not have been in the same class, and as I say, I was not very outgoing and so probably didn't know many people in the school. I was aged 9-11 while in Mauritius, and my sister was 11-13, maybe one of us was in the same year? I seem to recall there were two classes in each year. What a privileged childhood we had being taught in such a small school.<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to rekindle memories.<br /><br />After I grew up I lived in London for 20-odd years and am now in Both, leading a slightly quieter life. Non-military, I'm afraid, I never followed in my father's footsteps, turning to computers instead!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ian http://www.hmsmauritius.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1326051837/1#1 HMS MAURITIUS by Chris & Mart/General Mauritius posts http://www.hmsmauritius.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1326051837/1#1 [color=#660033]Hi Andy, I feel sure the house is one of a complex in Bonne Terre.
