I saw this obituary in today's Daily Post, Cambrian, and my memory went back over 50 years when I was in the St John Ambulance and often helped out during the Summer in their caravan near the Cenotaph with a Mr and Mrs Rathbone.
I was left wondering this morning if those stalwarts of our local St John Ambulance, before the days of the legendary Frank Ash, may have been John's parents.
