John Ninian Averell Daniell, who was born in December 1914, was commissioned in the Royal Artillery in March 1935 and quickly witnessed active service on the North West Frontier 1936-37. Remaining employed out in India, he appears to have returned to the U.K. in April 1944, when he took up an appointment in Combined Operations H.Q., and more specifically in Major-General Laycock’s Experimental Section, and he ended the War as a Temporary Major; sold with hand written service details.
