Treasured family history and amazing talent, as everyone has agreed. Is it the first you knew of their 'existence' ?  :-\ .... very exciting find  :)

Hi all

Thank you for all your wonderful comments Grandad would be so proud.

As to the comments about the Imperial War Museum, I have no Idea if they would be interested,but would happily let them have a copy If they wanted one. I will have to contact them.

I am posting a picture for you of the man himself, I have just found out he was attached to the minesweepers in WW1 as a radio operator he was a wizz on the Morse code apparently.

Later became a Chartered Accountant

Sadly he became blind in his later years & died at the age of 95.
