Reg Whittaker's nomination story

Reg Whittaker is 90 years of age. He has been fit all his life (boxing, football referee). He worked for many years as a local special needs teacher and headmaster and has been a pillar of the community (British Legion, Masons, RAFA, running hospital shop etc.). What many people do not know - and something that we only recently discovered when he was awarded the Bletchley Park Medal - is that he was in Special Operations Executive (SOE) during the war. He is the last of the few.
