George Edwards

George Edwards was my great uncle, younger brother to my grandmother, Lucy who married Charles Barratt. They had ten children including my father, Charles Barratt. I remember Uncle George and his wife, Aunty Nell. We cousins were in awe of them both. I can see George in my mind now, wearing a smart blazer and holding a cigarette He had a real presence.
John Barratt

He was my Grandad (my Mom, Beryl’s Dad). Everyones hero. A piece I wrote about him can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/51/a3758051.shtml and he gets a mention by name in the book “SAS With The Maquis - by Ian Wellsted.
