  Stonehenge: <Bill was born May 28, 1916 in Sutton, Surrey, UK, and was raised in Guernsey, Channel Isles, where his father was vicar at St. Matthew’s Church, Cobo. He enlisted in the British Royal Marines in 1934, and was deployed at the outbreak of World War II. Among other medals and decorations, he was awarded the Military Cross for extraordinary valour during the Battle of Crete in 1941. Bill retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 23 years in the Royal Marines and moved his family to Montreal in 1957. He served the Canadian Government working in Canada’s arctic defense systems and lived in Montreal for over twenty years working in the financial sector. He ended his career as a stock broker with the Vancouver-based firm of Richardson Greenshields. He was very active in Toastmaster’s International, both in Montreal and the Vancouver area. As well, he was an avid chess player, amateur painter, and enthusiastic choir member, among other activities.>
