General Information:

Wolseley-Lewis 1930s - Next door to me was Geoffrey Jackson, who had been an opera singer and had not taken much part in the war. He and Guy Harraway made a good pair when we had sing-songs ….. Geoffrey did not join the bridge players because, he said, it stimulated his brain too much, he could not sleep afterwards. Between Guy and Geoffrey was Harry, Geoff's brother, who had been wounded in the leg. He married a real fun blond, usually called Bunny, who looked like a barmaid. Harry was a more serious type than his gayer (in both senses), witty party-loving brother.
