Additional Information:
He was always known as Stanley, Uncle Stanley to me. My father Roy remembered his big brother Stanley sitting on his bed when he (Roy) was very ill with pneumonia aged about 7. Stanley was whittling a wooden boat for Roy. The field picture shows Stanley cleaning his gun - he is the one marked by a cross. The studio portrait is of Stanley with his father Edward Palmer, who was the founder of The Veeraswamy Indian restaurant in Regent Street, London
