My grandfathers brother William Henry Newey 1891-1950.

Royal Navy 1909-1921

He had a habit of going AWOL. The story was the family were told he was lost at sea as his ship had sunk. He turned up at my grandparents house and nearly gave my grandmother a heart attack, she thought he was dead. He'd missed the ship sailing and so lived.
