• Notes

  Posted 22 Oct 2015 by george_p61 Was born at Seven Oaks, Kent, and educated at Osborne and Dartmouth Naval Academies. By making the Navy his career, he was fulfilling a frustrated ambition of his father's. After his second tour of duty on the Yangtze, he married an English girl named Elsin whom he had met while in China. During the early days of World War II, he was invalided out of the service with the rank of Commander. He then started a successful visual education service but was squeezed out by a designing partner who had obtained financial control. To recoup this disaster, Elsin started making dolls' clothing and, inspired by her success, Conrad developed a dolls' clothing factory with headquarters in Sussex which has done well. Like his father, Conrad is a keen sailing man and has taken part in many regattas. They have two daughters.
