In my tribute, I mention a letter in which Mervyn describes his early years. I am indebted to his cousin Ann Carpenter (neé Hodgkinson); for encouraging my father to make the record in the first place, for transcribing it and, finally, for agreeing to allow it to be shared with others. The full letter is available here. Please email me if you would like a copy on CD of either the service or tribute.
