“Bad Luck”
Corporal Edgar Partridge, of the Army Pay Corps, Warley, Essex, identified the body of Fanny Partridge, aged 38, his sister-in-law and the wife of Staff Sergeant Partridge, now serving in the Persian Gulf .
Witness also identified Mrs Partridge’s two children – James aged eight, and Robert Edgar aged six.
They came to England , because they did not think they were safe in the district in which they were living in India , and they hoped to settle down here. The climate however, proved too much for them.
The Coroner: Bad luck? – Yes.
