  Notes	Once missed his ship at Marseilles. As he knew no French, he walked up and down the quayside singing "Johnny come home to your uncle" till someone took him to the British consul. He used to visit his sister, Nora when on leave - or when his ship docked in Bristol. If he came late he would climb through a window and be there in bed in he morning. He seemed to be popular with Nora's children - George Gadd remembered him. [Source: Barbara GADD, talking of "Benjamin" CAFFERY. She might have been referring to a different individual.]
