- Joe (as he was known), enlisted for military service in WW2 but was sent home shortly after as his sight wasn't good enough. He had not been home long when he went to the local cafe to meet some friends. it was whilst he was there a bomb landed right on the cafe and he was killed outright, along with his three mates and other civlians. He is buried in the local cemetry in a grave with three other victims. Incidently, Emily Florence, Frank's sister, was sent to fetch him but she left the cafe a few moments before the bomb dropped. She wasn't hurt badly, just a few minor cuts, but did get covered in brick dust!
