NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.

This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.

If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Jack Alfred (John) Bridgen

Notes from John Bridgen (Son):
My father, Jack Alfred Bridgen, served in the Royal Flying Corps at the end of WW1 and from December 1939 to August 1945 in WW2 in the Royal Engineers as a Railway Transport Officer - RTO, achieving the rank of Major, serving from early 1940 in France being evacuated from St Nazaire in the collapse relating to the retreat to Dunkirk. (It was initially conjectured that a more southerly resistance to the German advance might be mounted but such thoughts rapidly disappeared.)
Subsequently, later in 1940 he was posted to the Middle East, serving in Egypt, the Lebanon and later in mufti in "benevolently neutral" Turkey where it was planned to send troops to the Dodecanese Islands preparatory to invading the Balkans,"the soft underbelly of the axis powers". Nothing became of it all.
