Edwin Clingly Jnr. (known within the family as Ned) was born on 11th June 1912 and was the second oldest child of Edwin CLINGLY Snr. and Beatrice ROWNTREE. He died in 1992. Edwin was initially a French Polisher but later went on to become a cabinet maker and made everything from fine furniture to clock frames and even his own holiday chalet ! He was in the Territorial Army and, when war came in 1939, joined the Royal Artillery. He was shipwrecked off the coast of Singapore but made it to land - only to be captured by the Japanese and put into a Prisoner of War camp for three years. By the time he came home to England, he had suffered from beri-beri, ring-worm, scabies, dysentry and at least 23 bouts of malaria - not to mention the nervous stammer he'd developed.

Edwin had no children of his own. He married Ruth NOBLE in 1955 and gained two step-sons and a step-daughter from her previous marriage. One of these, Alan, has furnished me with most of the information on Edwin Jnr. and I am deeply grateful to him.
