After serving in the Royal Gloucester Hussars in Eygpt for four years, In 1944 Douglas returned and worked for R A Listers for 44 years. A keen sportsman he played, football, hockey and golf but his best sport was cricket where he played for Stinchcombe Stragglers and was also offered a place in the Gloucester County team which he turned down in favour of becoming a family man. Probably best known locally for telling and re telling jokes but you had to listen cos every now and then there would be a new one. Well done Dad you did indeed have a wonderful life.
