    Squire family: Elsie, John, Jane G, Marguerite and dau
    According to his obituary in 'The Lancet': With the outbreak of war Squire became blood-transfusion officer at the North-Western group laboratory, but in 1940 he returned to the department of clinical research at University College Hospital and he was appointed medical tutor there. He took the MRCP [examination for Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians] in 1941. In 1942 he joined the RAMC [Royal Army Medical Corps], serving first with the medical research section at GHQ Home Forces [which commanded all formations and units in the UK except those of AA Command and training establishments] and later as a GSO2 [General Staff Officer, ranked a Major] in the scientific adviser's branch at the War Office [which was later responsible for the research behind nuclear civil defence]. In 1943 he was posted to South-East Asia Command [which included India and Burma] as medical specialist to no. 10 operational research section, and the following year he was given command of the Allied Land Forces biological research section in South-East Asia [there are records showing that the section surveyed the troops on their attitudes, revealing resentment at wasting time (especially after the end of the war), and anger at red tape and 'bullshit'; it may also have been concerned with combating venereal disease.][Later these sections were closely associated with research into the effects of exposure to nuclear radiation]. He was mentioned in despatches [for gallant and distinguished services in Burma (London Gazette 17 Sep 1946. Lt-Col (temp), 236276)].
    SEAC flag (credit)
    After demobilisation he was appointed director of the Medical Research Council's Industrial Injuries and Burns Research Units at the Birmingham Accident Hospital. In 1948 he was elected Leith professor of experimental pathology and director of the department of pathology in the University of Birmingham and consultant in pathology to the United Birmingham Hospitals. He quickly built up one of the best and most productive clinical research departments in the country, and he and the tam of young men who came to work with him added to our knowledge of the nephrotic syndrome, the serum-proteins, agammaglobulinaemia, the rheumatoid factor, allergy, and the pathology of the skin.

    In 1948 he became an MD of the University of Birmingham, and in 1949 an MD of the University of Cambridge, and in 1950 he was elected FRCP. In 1957 he was Oliver-Sharpey lecturer at the Royal College of Physicians in London, when his subject was the functions of the plasma-proteins. He was honorary director of the MRC Unit for Experimental Pathology of the skin, chairman of the MRC committees on Army personnel research and hypogammaglobulinaemia, and a member of the committees on toxicology, occupational health, and the carcinogenic action of mineral oils. Some four years ago he was appointed director-designate of the new MRC clinical research centre at Northwick Park, and since then much of his time has been given to the planning of this new venture. In July he was nominated a member of the Royal Commission on Medical Education. He served as deputy dean of the faculty of medicine of the University of Birmingham from 1959 to 1961, and he was scientific adviser for Civil Defence for the Midland Region.

    Two contributions to the obituary noted that he "had a magnificent brain, dynamic energy, and unflagging enthusiasm. He could absorb and retain knowledge with a celerity and ease that was the envy of all who knew him, and he had an unerring capacity to see things clearly, to focus on what was important in any problem and yet never to overlook anyone or any detail." He recognised new and important developments early, and was excited by developments in computing and automation. "...few are as loved as John Squire was loved... he was a sensitive and indeed emotional man." He would "tell of his delight in his family... or of going out on a snowy night to feed his daughters' ponies." Both commentators described him as nearly irreplaceable as any man might be.

    The John Squire Library still exists at Northwick Park.

It was one of the original Woodard Schools — and the first Woodard School for girls — and was therefore an Anglican foundation that historically reflected the Anglo-Catholic ethos of the Woodard Foundation. It was affiliated to the Girls' Schools Association. Due to financial problems extending over many years, the school closed in the summer of 2019. (Wikipedia)

    Squire, Donald Hugh (11 Dec 1923)
    6A Knights End Road, Great Bowden, Market Harborough [redeveloped]

    Roland served as a Flying Officer in 117 Squadron in WWII. No. 117 reformed in 1941 at Khartoum, Sudan. Needing a long range aircraft, four Bristol Bombays were borrowed and a flight of ex-Yugoslav Savoia-Marchetti S.79Ks were taken on charge. When the squadron moved to Egypt in November 1941 to provide transport services, the squadron was equipped with the Lockheed Hudson. In 1943 it was involved in Operation Husky as part of No. 216 Group RAF and switched to Dakotas based at RAF Castel Benito, Libya. In October 1943 the squadron moved to India and in 1944 it transported supplies for the Chindits who operated behind the Japanese lines. [The Dakota had changed the face of the war in Burma, and performed a vital and heroic role in supplying Slim's 14th Army.]

    On 6 Sep 1945, Roland was killed, when his plane, Dakota IV KK118 crashed 20 miles south of Binh Li [Bayin Nyi].
    Squire- In loving memory of our son and brother Roland (Flying Officer RHT Squire RAFVR) and in tribute to his gallant crew lost rescuing prisoners of war, 6/9/1945. St Dionysius Church - Market Harborough 
    The Dakotas were certainly involved in evacuating casualties and repatriating POWs. However, the records suggest that at the time of the crash, the plane was carrying and advance party of 1 Queens of
    7 Indian Division from Burma to Thailand for garrison duty at Saigon. Another Dakota from 117 Squadron - which was carrying POWs - was lost two days after Roland's; perhaps the tribute was to this aircrew. There is a possible grave at Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery, Myanmar; and a memorial in Singapore.

    Herbert served as a Flying Officer with 514 Squadron of the RAF in WWII. He was awarded the DFC:
    "Flying Officer Ronald Frederick LIMBERT (143269), R.A.F.V.R., 514 Sqn. Flying Officer Herbert Leslie HALLAM (106323.), R.A.F.V.R., 514 Sqn. As pilot and navigator respectively Flying Officers Limbert and Hallam have completed many sorties and have displayed commendable skill and courage throughout. In November, 1944, they took part in an attack on a synthetic oil plant at Dortmund. Whilst over the target the aircraft sustained extensive damage. In spite of this, Flying Officer Limbert completed his bombing run and afterwards flew the badly damaged bomber to an airfield near the English coast and effected a safe landing. Throughout, the homeward flight he received the greatest assistance from his navigator Flying Officer Hallam who proved himself to be an invaluable member of aircraft crew. Most of his navigational instruments had been destroyed but he plotted his way home with unfailing accuracy. In circumstances of much danger Flying Officers Limbert and Hallam displayed great coolness, resolution and devotion to duty." London Gazette No. 36889, Dated 1945-01-12

    On 21 Nov 1944, he took part, as Navigator, in a bombing raid from RAF Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire to Hamburg-Rhenania, in which 476 tons of bombs were dropped. On the same day 366 B-24 bombers targeted Hamburg oil refineries but cloud cover limited accuracy: the borough of Harburg was devastated. Herbert was killed when his Lancaster III LM684 JI-C crashed 1 km NW of Moers. He is buried at Reichswald Forest War Cemetery, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.

He crash-landed a Spitfire in enemy territory and was captured and imprisoned in Stalag Luft III, of Great Escape fame. He escaped in 1945.
