At the time of the 1841 Census William is at Bablake Boys School inCoventry. The Bablake School and Bond's Hospital in Hill Street,Coventry are pictured in the Scrapbook.The first Tudor style buildingpictured is the old Bablake boy's school, founded in 1560. Beyondthat, the cream fronted building is Bonds Hospital, founded earlierthat century in 1506.Between the two buildings is an arched gatewaythrough which you would be met by the pleasant sight shown on the leftdepicting the courtyard shared by Bonds and Bablake. This view isunlikely to have changed significantly in the last three centuries. Asyou pass through the arched entrance into this little quadrangle ofserenity, a glance to the left will bring a view down the cloisteredpassage of one of Coventry's former premier boys schools,

One of the old nicknames of the 36th Regiment is 'The Saucy Greens'.This is from the 36th Foot, from its high content of Irish soldiersand the colour of its facings.
