The boy concerned in the shooting stood trial at the Hertford Assizes and was sentenced to be detained at the Queen's pleasure, the normal sentence for a juvenile convicted of murder. I remember my Father telling me that the other boy present had given evidence in a mature manner and had stood up very well under extreme pressure in cross examination. I think his name was Longman. To my memory, I think that the incident happened in the very late 40's and that the victim was a local farmer.
Happy New Year to Everyone!

Hi Dave. I doubt very much that story of A war time incident is true, as you know I spent three years of the war at goldings and I would have heard tell by the older boys who told loads of stories of events that happened before my time there, as far as I know we had no armoury at goldings until maybe when the cadet corp. started up but that was after the war, we only had a A.T.C unit in goldings and had to go to a school in Hertford on a Friday night for instruction. A story like that would have been highly publicized in the press and most certainly by the Hertfordshire Mercury, I defend my Goldings brothers in that this incident never happened where Goldings boys were involved so I rest my case.
