I have not checked but I believe the museum of steam at Swindon have a full run of GWR magazine.

I have checked and they are currently unable to accept queries owing to reorganisation and lack of staff, sorry

I have read through all 16 pages again and just want to throw in a few comments.

I still think a dining car attendant on the on the the railways most prestigious trains to Scotland would be a long serving and trusted employee.

I am looking back at our waiter in 1921 census who is likely to be the father of the 1922 child living in
Carver st., not far from the jewellery quarter and the queens hotel.  I said previously about his unemployed status but now have noted the date, in 1921 the railways were about to be grouped and the queens was then owned, but not necessarily run by, the LNWR, a company not noted for being a good employer, he may well have got his job back when the LMS was formed under government directions.

I see no barrier to the “jumped ship” man being employed by the LNWR, they had little interest in their hotels.

I see an affable man, a bit of a storyteller enjoying his mixing with rather rich and famous people, but his stories may have varied with his audience.

Sad that his life should have ended due to this long lingering progressive disease, I suspect that his railway career might have ended sometime in 1938, and he was in the sanatorium by the 1939 records, was his death registered by the hospital or by Madge

Just my thoughts,

Passwords etc are not stored on an iPhone/iPad by default, they are stored on the iCloud.

So when you change any device, do not use the same Password on your new device, change it.

Same with your Apple password and all the others, change them all.

Not everybody uses iCloud, I have an iPad that has never been signed in to apple, it stores passwords if I ask it to.
Not everyone uses their device in the same way, or for the same purpose

The very distinctive V shaped radiator is most unusual, I can only find it on Mercedes racers from about 1913, has this been “ repatriated” and converted to road use, note the seemingly homemade
modifications around the bonnet louvres.

If you were young, under 35, you would have an iPhone permanently attached to you, with all your credit cards in an apple wallet, whatever one of those is, and permanently online via “mobile data”, and when your phone ran out of battery you would wander round in a daze, a sort of lost soul looking for the elusive lost ark charging point.
