Bill was a Penzance man or to be more exact a Newlyn man I seem to recall.  Having lived down that way for a few years before joining up and coming under his wing he wondered if I knew his son?  At this stage I was the only new entry Cadet in the Division as the buses from the station hadn't arrived, so it was difficult to worm my way out of the conversation. He did however think it hillarious that I'd had fisticuffs with his son about 3 weeks before joining! A truly superb SNCO and a great influence on all who came within his purview.
