My Lunch Time


I noticed this:

a few days ago but didn't have time to read it so I went back this lunch time to read all of it. Captain Ralph Binney was murdered trying to prevent a violent robbery of a jeweler's shop on Birchin Lane in London in 1944. The surprising thing about it is that there's more information about the man on the web site of the Amiralante Padilla Naval School in Colombia. He helped found that august institution after retiring from the Royal Navy in 1934, returning to the Royal navy in 1939, eventually becoming chief of staff for the Port of London in 1944.

Other things I saw on my walk:
Entrance to Bengal Court
St Michaels church
