Notes

Bill Knight was a chorister, in Westminster Abbey choir.
(It is apparently very difficult to get into this choir).
On 25th March, 1927, aged 13, Bill is a passenger, with a number of other choristers, returning to Southampton from Canada (St. John N.B.) on the Canadian Pacific ship 'Minnedoba'.

I have been told that Bill was the youngest general in British Army but have not been able to confirm this.
