Notes
| Birth | Jun 1925 Staines vol 3a p33 |
| Death of a grand-parent | Mar 1925 Staines vol 3a p13 |
| Military Service | Plymouth Division, C Company, 418 Squad. Register No. X4376 |
| Military Service | A summary of Venerables movements is here - |
| Military Service | R.F.R. No CH.B.3963 |
| Residence | Emergency, post-war pre-fabricated bungalow. Re-developed in the 1970's. |
| Death of a grand-parent | Paralysis of the intestine. To be termed "paralytic ileus," the intestinal paralysis need not be complete, but it must be sufficient to prohibit the passage of food through the intestine and lead to intestinal blockage. Paralytic ileus is a common aftermath of some types of surgery. It can also result from certain drugs and from various injuries and illnesses. Paralytic ileus causes constipation and bloating. On listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope, no bowel sounds are heard because the bowel is inactive. Also simply called ileus. |
| Death of a grand-parent | Section 17, plot 94 |
| Military | P.U.R.M.S. |
| Death of a grand-parent | Section 17, plot 94 |
| Occupation | 03-05-1963 - saved a woman from under train. |
| Death of spouse | Nancy had suffered from motor neurone disease in her left arm for 10 years. Having survived the original prognosis of 5 years, when she noticed the same 'sensation' beginning in her right arm, she decided that she was not prepared to become physically useless. She willed herself to die. Sounds strange I know, but the week before she died she made me promise her that I would not allow any attempt to prolong her life - which I honoured (she had also told her GP and hospital consultants the same). This is reinforced by my godmother (Nancy's best friend) telling me at mother's wake, that the week prior to her death, Nancy had 'phoned her to say her good-byes. |
| Death | And before you ask 'Why wasn't blood in his stools noticed?', he was taking iron suppliments (prescribed) so his stools were black in any case! |
| Cremation | Why so long after his death? It was the earliest date that was convenient for not only for the family, but also his many friends. James was highly regarded and his RM Association friends gave him a right royal send-off. Berets, medals, standard, the lot - most moving. Unfortunately, no one took any photo's! |
