Ronald Edward Aggus (Ronnie) was born on 3rd December 1917 at 24 Sedgewick Road Leyton Essex, to Henry and Florence Aggus. Ronnie had 4 sisters and 2 brothers, Albert and George. Both brothers also served in WW2 and survived. Ronnie married Rose Julie Grimwood of Hainault Road, Leyton E10 in 1940. According to Ronnie's brother, Albert, the first wardrobe for his flat was made from egg boxes (they used to come in ‘long hundreds’ from Denmark)! Everything was held together by 2 inch nails and painted green.
