ON 17th December 1951.  Barefoot as he was affectionately known had returned from the war with no shoes on, embarking from the plane barefoot, thus enjoying the compliments of his new nickname right on through his life.

Their children came along like little stepping stones and Alex and Mags were always the perfect parents and grandparents.
