Geoff: 44 Years a Railwayman by Lgeoffrey Raynor
Geoffrey Raynor was born in Carlton, Nottingham and joined the LNER as a messenger boy at the city's Victoria Station in 1939. He progressed to train register lad, signalman, controller and finally senior accident clerk at Doncaster. Geoff's life as a railwayman is described in detail in the context of his Nottingham childhood and marriage to Janet, who faced cancer. Geoff, still active in his new community, retired to Lawford, Essex. He describes travelling with the first group of Prisoner of War relatives allowed to visit Thanbyuzayat Cemetery in Burma, where his brother is buried. The attention to railway detail makes this book an entertaining read and provides a fascinating lesson in social history.
