Samuel Thomas Percy Yeo had been born in 1884, the eldest son of William Yeo and Mary Smith – he and Georgina had married in Plymouth in 1908, and Samuel’s posting had kept him in Australia for several years as their youngest two children had been born there.

– William Percy Yeo (born Plymouth 1912, married Olga Margaret Greig)
