George Frances Winters (1917-1977) and
Evelyn Maud Barrer (1918-2006)
Evelyn Maud Barrer (1918-2006)
George Francis WINTERS was born on 8 June 1917 in St. Michael's Terrace, Athy, Co. Kildare, IrelandG.1
He married Evelyn Maud BARRER, daughter of George BARRER and Vera Eleanor BEATTY, on 14 June 1941 in Harrogate, EnglandG.2 George Francis WINTERS died on 22 May 1977, at age 59, in Gateshead, EnglandG.
He married Evelyn Maud BARRER, daughter of George BARRER and Vera Eleanor BEATTY, on 14 June 1941 in Harrogate, EnglandG.2 George Francis WINTERS died on 22 May 1977, at age 59, in Gateshead, EnglandG. George Francis Winters was educated between 1934 and 1938 at University College Galway, National University of Ireland. He graduated on 27 October 1939 from University College Galway as Bachelor of Engineering.
He emigrated in January 1940 to England, where he was employed by Sir Lindsay Parkinson & Co. Ltd as an assistant engineer at Royal Ordnance Factory No. 6, Risley, Lancashire, England. Subsequently, he worked for Messrs. George Wimpey & Co. Ltd. between October 1940 and January 1943 on various projects:
- the ICI Hydrogenation Plant at Middleton, Heysham, working under Mr. A.L. Wheeler on drainage and water supply
- the Royal Ordnance Factory near Doncaster as Section Engineer
- the Corsham project near Bath; the conversion of underground workings into a bomb-proof factory and storage accommodation
- drainage works at Poulton Airfield near Chester
- construction of a Royal Naval Depot at Beith in Ayrshire
During that period he became engaged to Evelyn Maud Barrer on 19 February 1941, and married on 14 June 1941.
He was called up in January 1943 as a result of volunteering previously for the Airfield Construction Service of the Royal Air Force. After commissioning and training, he was posted in March 1943 to 5013 Airfield Construction Squadron in East Anglia, under the command of Squadron Leader J.C. Thompson and Wing Commander F. Jopson. The work involved the construction of infrastructure, repair and maintenance of airfields of the Bomber Command in East Anglia. He was promoted to Flight Lieutenant in April 1944, posted to 5001 Airfield Construction Squadron for invasion training with the Royal Engineers in Scotland, and landed in Normandy in July. After the breakthrough, he moved through France, Belgium and Holland repairing damaged German airfields and buildings.
In May 1945 he was transferred back to England in preparation for the Far East, and followed the invasion fleets to Singapore Island as a Technical Officer on 5353 Wing Headquarters. Working under Group Captain A.J. Dow and Squadron Leaders G.B. Godfrey and L. Baker, he was responsible for coordinating work on the extension of Tengah airfield and the surfacing of Changi airfield in double steel pierced plank.
Fortunately, an official photo of the work at Changi Airfield survives. Construction work is shown in the photo "1945 Changi Airfield" below, courtesy of the Imperial War Museums, which has the description"
"Men of 5353 Airfield Construction Wing, Royal Air Force (RAF), assist and supervise Japanese prisoners of war during the construction of the main runway at Changi. The runway, constructed from 276,680 pierced steel sheets was 2000 yards in length and 50 yards wide and able to take the largest aircraft then in service with the Royal Air Force."
He returned to England in April 1946, and was promoted to Squadron Leader. He was sent to take command of an Airfield Construction Unit overseeing 50 RAF Officers and men, 500 ex-Luftwaffe personnel and 100 German civilians.
He ended military service in December 1946 and was employed by the County Borough of Gateshead as Senior Assistant Engineer to the Borough Engineer from 1946 to 1947. He was appointed Borough Engineer and Surveyor in 1953, a position he held until 1964 when he retired through ill health.
He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health in 1955.
He was an accomplished musician and composer. The story of how two of his compositions were recorded by Al Bowlly is described here.3

Limerick, Ireland, and was described as Edward Winters, son, Church Ireland, able to read & write, aged 13, a scholar, not married, born in Co Limerick.
He was enumerated in the 1911 Ireland census as a Shop Assistant, aged 23, living at Market Street, Kells Urban, Co. Meath. The shop was a Provision Merchant and Iron Monger.

The Hamiltons may have been relations of the Winters family. A photo of a Major Hamilton describes him as a cousin of Margaret Susan 'Gretta' Winters, a half-sister of Edward Thomas Winters. His older brother Frederick George Winters also worked as an assistant in the Hamilton's shop in Kells in 1901.
He was living at St. Michael's Terrace, Athy, Co. Kildare in 1914 and 1917, Ireland, where he was a Salesman, probably working for Duthie, Large & Co who were engineers and motor agents.
He was appointed a churchwarden for the Athy and Kilberry Union of Parishes in 1920.
The family was caught up in the general unrest of the Irish Civil War. An edition of the Nationalist and Leinster Times of Saturday, July 01, 1922; pg. 2, reported that:
"On Monday night the windows of house in St. Michael's Terrace, occupied by a Protestant, were broken by stones. The house of Mr. Winter, a Protestant worker engaged in the Foundry was attacked by a number of men also on Monday night. Stones were thrown at the windows. Mr. Winter did not comply with their requests and after remaining for a short time they left."
The family moved to Galway between 1922-1923 where Edward Thomas Winters was manager of WP Higgins Garage, a Ford Dealership. They were living at 8 Dominick street, Galway in 1929. A number of newspaper articles referring to him and his work at Higgins Garage can be found here:

He was living at 52 Berkeley Way, Heston, Middlesex in 1966.6,4,7,8
