Stewart Wyvol Thompson               1892-1966
Stewart was born on 2 June 1892 of Richard Charles Thompson and Dorothy Clark. He married Madge G. Mills in 1917. Stewart became a Captain in the Royal Air Force. Stewart died on 25 November 1966.

Madge Mills                                   1886-1953
Madge was the widow of Gordon Mills, Coldstream Guards, and the daughter of H. Sloburn, Richmond House, Wimbledon-common.
(I was unable to find an entry for the death of Gordon Mills in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web-site. This may indicate that he did not die as a result of enemy action. Ed.) Madge died on 2 January 1953, at the age of 66.
