Arthur Aldersley 1913-2012



We were sad to receive the following email from Arthur's son John on 4 February 2012:

'Just to let you know that my father, Arthur John Charles Aldersley, died peaceably without pain this morning at my sister, Hazel's house in Roughton Norfolk aged 98. He remained remarkably physically fit until the last few months, but was suffering from a form of Alzheimers for over eight years and towards the end was housebound and in need of 24 hour care. He kept his sense of humour and awareness of and words to all the old songs to the end.'

Arthur joined HMSO as Clerical Officer in January 1946. He spent most of his time with the office in D Division, moving to the Reprographic Unit in Basildon in the 1960s. John Aldersley originally corresponded with HMSOldies on 8 February 2006 (see Information Circulars).
