NOTES

BARBER, DENNIS - Son of Mr and Mrs HJ Barber, of Dorking, Surrey.

Maura Hazelden 12/11/11: Dennis Barber lived at Lovedon Cottage, Westhumble. His father was Herbert George Barber, blacksmith. [My mother says there were lots of complicated names in the family but she only ever knew Dennis's father, her grandfather as Herbert George, I called him great grandad George]
Dennis volunteered when his brother was taken prisoner of war.

My mum, Beryl, went to the opening of the Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede, where Dennis is named, with her grandfather and her uncle Sam and uncle Bill, the one who had been a prisoner of war.
