Francis James - Enigma

A correspondent asked my source for Francis James. I got the info on the web, including this bit. I was interested in him as an Anglican and an opponent of the Vietnam War. I did not realise his eclectic interests and fascinating life.
"In 1937, James joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a cadet. He left the RAAF in early 1939 over what Francis described as a 'matter of principle'. At the outbreak of the Second World War, James joined the Royal Air Force Voluntary Reserve. He was retrained on Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft. James was shot down in France in April 1942. He bailed out and received severe burns to his face, legs eyes and wrists. He was captured by the Germans and hospitalised. James was sent to a prison camp at Sagan. In 1943 was repatriated to Cairo where he was nursed by Miss Betty Archdale, (Headmistress of Abbotsleigh School 1958-1970). James was formally invalided out of the Royal Air Force in April 1945. Francis James married Joyce Staff in London on 25 April 1945. In 1947, James became involved in a fishing venture designed to assist the chronic food shortage in post-war Britain."
