    Default John Derrick Cutcliffe

    Although most of us never met John as he left the company many years before most of us joined, it is still with sadness that I have to report his death on April 1st 2016 aged 95.
    In 2005 John put pen to paper and recorded his war-time experiences, including the sinking of Richmond Castle.
    These can be found on his page in the B&C web site. It is well worth a read. It seems a pity that he never expanded it into a book.
    RIP John
