Donald (Doug) Gordon West (F 39-44). Peter West writes:

“My father passed away on 5th March this year aged 91. After his time at school he served in the royal navy during the final years of the World War Two before a working life which was spent with two electrical manufacturers, Volex and GEC. He was always keen on sport, being a season ticket holder with Liverpool AFC for about eighty years. Indeed his grandfather, Joseph West, was one of the founder members of that club in 1872. He was a regular golfer and tennis player with several clubs in the Liverpool area and helped found the ‘Bohemians Tennis Club’ in the 1960s. He and his wife, Olive, who died in 2012, were seasoned travellers at home and abroad and spent many holidays in North Wales where they had a caravan. Doug and Olive had two children and four grandchildren.” Photo opposite of Donald West with grandchildren Cameron and Georgina.
