Just been reading a book about WW2 Special Communications, Wireless Intercepts and the like and the name Ken Bromley comes up as an amateur artist who is posted to a wireless unit. I suspect it must be the same chap as wot owns Ken Bromley Art Supplies. An interesting, small world! David

I would not think so ,.I think he is not old enough, could be his father who was a well known Artist in the Bolton art group

Bolton. Yes , same person then. The text I read says that after the war Ken went to live in Bolton. So could be his son (well, the Ken in my book is almost certainly dead now, almost.) D

Ha, no, not "almost dead" but "almost certainly" dead. He could be alive and well (we now know he isnt), but as he would be of great age he is almost-certainly, dead. Either way, RIP Ken D
