Sadly Sydney and his wife Mary only had one child, David, who died in infancy. Through my father I inherited some of Sydney's books which testify to his scholarship. Sydney died in 1943; some 20 years later there were two of his Miles relations at Hull University, one being Frank who read History and went on to teach in Reading and me, now a part-time university tutor in Psycholgy.

Of course all Forest families have similar stories of increasing educational attainment but if others can add to Sydney Miles' record I should be most grateful.
