Fascinating to see this. Eric Shackleton Bailey was my great great uncle. My mother remembers him and Dora coming over to Cambridge, England for a reunion with his brothers and sister. They all had a difficult childhood which made them quite eccentric people (Eric was by far the most normal). The family story was that Eric was involved in the black market whilst serving in wartime Italy.
Wonderful to get that comment, Emma. Thank you. Very interested in your comment that Eric was the "most normal" member of the family. Do you, by any chance, have a photograph of Eric?
