More detailed information on Frank Summers is given by annpake in the threads on his father Edwin Summers and his mother Celestina Summers. He was killed at Ypres, Belgium in WW1, fighting with the Australian army. He has a memorial in St Michael's Cemetery. His brothers were Alec and Charles Summers and his sister Eva Margaret Forbes.

Eva Forbes was the daughter of Edwin Henry and Celestina Summers and sister of Alec and Charles Summers. She married Robert Fraser Forbes and was probably evacuated to Australia with her three children, as the Australian Electoral Roll puts her as living in Queensland in 1943. Neither she nor her husband appear on subsequent Electoral Rolls. Their children were Monica, Jean and Robert Forbes, who remained in Queensland. Many thanks to annpake for this research.

Mike Kendall was the head of Z Force in Hong Kong in WW2.
