Your post #8887 above.
George went through the usual routine of being threatened with death as a spy, before being sent to the interrogation centre where we first met. George's home was 23 Aquinas Street, Waterloo - an inner suburb of London. Recently married, his wife was expecting their first child when he was shot down.
Here's how 23 Aquinas Street, adjacent to Waterloo Station, looked last year when photographed by Google (the right of the two black doors opposite). Probably in the 1940's a very working class area, nowadays relatively upmarket being very near to the centre of London.
