Radlein Obituary March 8 1942. In January 1942, died on active service, Philip Mascie Domville Wynter (Evans's, C. 1906-09). Major, RA.O.C. He served from 1914 to 1918 in the R.F.A., and for some years afterwards made the Army his career, where his enthusiastic horsemanship found scope in the Army Remount Department, the Indian Army Service Corps, and the 16th Cavalry. He saw active service again in Waziristan in 1922-24. Subsequently, on retiring from the Army as a Captain, he became a stockbroker in Canada. Early in 1939 he rejoined the Army and was gazetted a Captain in the R.A.O.C. His cheerful temperament and unfailing good nature gained him friends in many parts of the world, who will greatly regret his death.
