It must have been a very tedious task, On day one we had di dah dah dit (P) three times at about 20wpm but with longish pauses in between.and he then wrote a P on the blackboard.It took about ten weeks to learn the alphabet etc.
It was taught by Charlie Wilcox at Topcliffe and he'd taught Morse some 20 years earlier in the Tram Sheds at Blackpool to WOp/AGs
