Post War Career
He served with the 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment,6th Armoured Division with the 1st Army in Tunisia, followed by the Italian campaign, including the break through at Cassino and finally in Austria.
George Notcutt enjoyed a distinguished career in teaching at the School. He started in 1938 as Master in Charge of Physical Education and, following his service in the War, he returned to the School in January 1945. As the choice of activities widened for pupils, he played a prominent part in all areas.He organised 25 skiing parties to the Alps in the Winter Holidays. He was appointed 2nd Master in 1960. He retired in 1969 and donations for him were over £2,200. It was typical of the man that he was more than happy for this to be used for the provision of a Squash Court at the School.
He was very active in O.I. activities after his retirement, having been on the O.I. Committee since 1946. He edited the O.I. Magazine from 1968 and was President in 1977.
Ten years a pupil, over thirty one a Master and on the O.I. Committee for over thirty years, he established a record for service to the School and the Club, a record which is surely unbeatable,
