D.T.B. BLANFORD (39-42)

D.T.B. Blanford (39-42) is thought to have died sometime in 2021. His copy of the 2022 edition of the OP Magazine was returned to the College in March marked “deceased.” Efforts to discover more have drawn a blank. All that is known about him is that he left the NCP in the middle of World War II to serve in the Merchant Navy. By 2020 he was living near Battle in Sussex. We have no further details.
