Missing, Presumed Dead
‘FEW of us bother to look at all the names on a towns memorial to its war dead.
And for years George OKey failed to spot a certain name of the list. The name? George OKey.
The inscription on a plaque in Middlesbrough was meant to be the name of Georges brother, who died in Burma. George, 83, was surprised at what he saw.
Ive never studied the memorial in detail before, he said. All these years Ive been wandering round the town while it listed me as dead.’
