Geoffrey Bolton taught at Summer Fields for more than forty years. There were few boys at the school between 1919 and 1960 on whom he did not have a profound effect. Many were terrified by him, many were inspired; not a few were both. Here are some boyhood memories: "The only memory that I have of G. Bolton is that he was extremely fierce and all the boys were terrified of him. He looked like a skeleton as he was gassed in the First War." "How that gaunt figure dominated my five years! I loved and revered him, and was terribly afraid of him." "GB was very odd to look at, but I suspect that in other ways he was dead straight." In this brief biography, Nicholas Aldridge, himself a former pupil of G.B., attempts to discover the key to what made him tick.
