Francis Damian Russell [son].

He was badly wounded in WW2, and suffered various reverses in his private life, including the loss of a daughter in 1941 and the death at a relatively early age of his first wife [64]; but had the good fortune to be introduced to his second wife while he was still in his sixties and she in her forties; she is still living at this date [2021]. The son of a devout Roman Catholic, he himself was a firm follower of that faith, but it is noteworthy that his mother, his first wife and his second wife were all born into the Anglican tradition. Not an intellectual himself, he shied away from the issues which affected his faith and the moral dilemmas which involved some of his contemporaries, his children and successive generations.
