When I used to walk to school with Alan King and Harry Valentine, Alan Belsham sometimes walked with us. When he left school he worked in Canning Town. One morning, as he cycled to work, his wheel got caught in a tram-line and he was run over by a motor vehicle. I’m not sure now if he was killed instantly, but he didn’t survive.
