| Radlein Obituary | June 16th 1940. On 16th May, 1940, at Amersham from illness contracted during service in the R.N.V.R., Anthony Samuel Johns. He was at Radley (Mr. Smale's, H) from 1933-1938. Anthony Johns, the only child of Dr. and Mrs. Johns of Amersham, came to Radley from Summerfields in 1933, and soon became a popular figure with his generation. Though quiet and reserved in general, he showed to his friends a bright cheerfulness which captured their affection. There was about him something of eternal youth. His chief interests were rowing and music and his performances on the trombone were a feature of the House Orchestra which owes a great deal to his unremitting enthusiasm. He had, when he left in 1938 intended to take up a medical career and was hoping to go to Cambridge had not the war intervened. |
