Individual Details
Robert (Bob) Edward HUSSEY
(3 Jan 1893 - 8 Oct 1947)
Bob worked in the leather goods business. He spent his entire career, from the age of 13, with Connolly Leather, which was owned by the family of his future wife, Vera Connolly. Apparently Bob got the Connolly job thanks to the influence of a granduncle, John Lynch, and John's wife, Maria (née Connolly) who was an aunt of Vera's.
Bob enlisted in the H.A.C. (Honorable Artillery Company) in November 1916 and, following a number of months training in England, his unit was sent to France in April 1917 and then on to Ypres, Belgium. He was invalided out of the army on 13 February 1918, suffering from shell shock. He had attained the rank of Corporal.
Ursula Staszynski has put together a tribute to her Hussey and Bishop relatives (including Bob) who served in World War I. It contains biographical information, stories and photographs and can be viewed at http://youtu.be/N_YXbvPOT4E
Bob, Vera and their family lived at 4 Heath Mansions, Putney in the 1920s and at 17 Westleigh Avenue, Putney for most of the 1930s. By 1939 they were living at Oak Lodge, Beaumont Road, Putney.
Bob died suddenly and unexpectedly, possibly of a heart attack. He was only 54 years of age.
