Hi John If My Memory is not playing games with me .I remember some time after the A.T.C.Cadet started at Goldings one of the boy's did get hold of some ammunition from some where and shot a lady as she was riding her bike past Goldings, but to the state to her injury I can not remember all I know something happened to her one way or another

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.
