08-05-10 edit - Since
this article was written I have today learned that Adrian has recently
sadly passed away. My thoughts go out to his family.
"Here is an image of my father
George Edward Arnold, sadly I know very little about my father as he
died in 1956 when I was 3 years old. He was born in 1910 in Town St
Brandon and his parents were George and Priscilla (nee
Thompson). I assume that he was called up during the war as the
photo was taken in 1944 and he served in the Royal Artillery. As
far as I know he did not leave the country and the fact that he
suffered from Asthma may have been the reason.
After he was demobbed he worked for the
Forestry Commission and lived in a tied cottage just over the railway
line until his death in 1956."
