Posted these pictures here in memory of John Cordrey who was my Driver when I was working at the Bricklayers Arms as a van boy, late 1950s, John was good to me more like a father that I never had. John was in the war, though like most soldiers he never talked much about those times, I suspect to many bad memories of the pals that were left behind. I have looked closely at these pictures hoping I might just spot John but sadly no luck, still 65 plus years on, John is still remembered. R.I.P John.
