Nice paper, I nver knew that JRRT ws a first Lieutenant, a friend of mine is interested in World War I history, I'll have to ask him if he can find out anything about JRRT's regiment.
On barrow-store, I'd imagine that rather than a shop which sells wheelbarrows (not so likely within a school), it was a shed where wheelbarrows were kept, so something of a gardeners' store-room. I wonder if the inspiration for the Gaffer was a gardner at King Edwards school?
