As a child Violette Valentine nee Caddy - daughter of Jim - recalls a tale that he got in trouble for attacking Sergeant Pascoe by jumping off the edge of the quarry during an exercise, "how true that is I am unsure, but it made us children giggle".
She also recalls finding a gas mask in with a box of old items on the farm. After farming at Trengilly he eventually settled in 1951 at Tregonning Farm near Newquay in 1951. He remained active in farming up to a year before he died on June 1st 1984.
In 2016 Violette was able to march past the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day in honour of her father.
