Biography

His son, Chris, knew nothing of his father's secret past.

He said: "My father announced that he was a conscientious objector to the war so it came as a huge surprise to me that he was one of the members of the Abraham Patrol. He died in 1997 so I never had the opportunity to talk to him about it".
