Individual Note 2

NOTE

Information from Theresa Turnbull:

"My cousin remembers meeting him in the 1950s at Burley, she said he had been an RAF pilot. The family held him in high regard. He was in Burley visiting and had come to see Olive and her daughter Mary at Mary's house, he was probably in the village to see his sister."

(NOTE: My father was a RAF Officer who was a Gunner and not a Pilot - Eileen.)

 

Information from Clive Bromfield:

They (Pamela and George) had a pub, he was not sure where, but thought it was called the Royal Oak. They had to give up the pub because George was taken ill. He was in a sanatorium in Midhurst (Sussex).

 

He also said George was stationed near Salisbury and had a motor bike in the 1940s, he went to Burley with Dixie who was in the WRAF.
