Les lived in Chatham,and l live in Wednesbury,we only saw each other once in the past 40 years,but we kept in touch by phone,and it was such a shock when his wife Pearl rang and told me he had died,Les had been suffering from cancer.

My lasting memory of Les is his sense of humour.  I remeber him sat in the printing press in Aden with one of theose thimble things for counting paper (think tey are called a bankers friend) stuck on the end of his nose.  Chlidish but very amusing
