After a long time between posts, working on other projects, I turned back to tracing the fates of the other Commercial Trainees, since Geoffrey’s box included a mailing list. He had not updated it much since 1993. Most of the updates have been accomplished with the England & Wales register of Deaths to 2006, but the obituary for Sir Ross Stainton (which I had been somewhat alert for, since I knew he had taken part in a documentary about five years ago) passed me by.
Here is the link to the obituary in the Telegraph. Sir Ross Stainton 1914 – 2011
Sir Ross Stainton RIP
