1935 Obituary

WE regret to hear of the death on August 25th of Mr. G. P. Wainwright, who used frequently to be met in locomotive circles, where he was very popular and where his cheerful spirit, despite a handicap from lameness, was much admired.

Mr. Wainwright was the son of Mr. W. Wainwright, the carriage superintendent of t he South-Eastern Railway, and was the brother of Mr. Harry S. Wainwright, the S.E. and C. locomotive and carriage superintendent. He, too, was on the South Eastern and then on the Midland, becoming some thirty odd years ago the London representative of Messrs. George Turton, Platts and Co., from which position he had, owing to ill-health, to retire seven years ago.
