Dear Anthony,<br />
<br />
I think you may be inadvertently conflating the Chrisses here; I posted that BMG article back in November and did indeed sorely neglect to cite the date, which I will now do, with my apologies: January 1955. It's part of the alphabetical listing of UK banjoist biographies that started earlier in 1954 as part of Brewer's "Banjo in Britain" articles. (Though I can't think of a more cordial and friendly Chris with whom to be confused than Chris Cioffi, so that's fine with me.)<br />

<br />
And while I'm at it, my belated congratulations and salutations to Ian, who (whom?) I'm glad to hear is doing well and feeling better. Welcome back, Ian! There's no better news than a clean bill of health.<br />
<br />
And thanks to you, Anthony, for all the tireless Morley research and the fantastic library of files you've been assembling on the site; your efforts are overwhelming and, to say the least, greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />

<p>I did see online the article about "Pack Up Your Troubles" as interviewed with his daughter inlaw, I think....I may have mentioned that earlier in the thread.</p>
<p></p>
<p>On the BMG Brewer's piece you reference.....what issue is it in???? I may have it, but I doubt it as my BMG collection is young and I'm struggling with finding earlier issues, which of course I'm most interested in finding.</p>
<p></p>
<p>How did you find all this information???</p>

<p>I deeply appreciate your post......thank you!</p>

<p><b><u>John Percy Cuninghame</u></b></p>
<p>Born on the 12<sup>th</sup> December 1891 to Alexander Kennedy Cuninghame and Mary Edith May Cuninghame nee Lawrence. John Percy Cuninghame married Edith M Roberts in Sept 1919 in the registration district of Bath. He enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary force on the 23<sup>rd</sup> December 1915, in the 35<sup>th</sup> Central Alberta Horse, although he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. He was elected to the Royal Aero Club in July 1917 (along with Lothair Gebhardt Blucher, a descendant of the Waterloo Bluchar)..Returned to England from Quebec (alone) by the Empress of Scotland in 1922. Brewer (----) indicated that he moved to Birmingham and stopped playing the banjo because of rheumatism. Certainly, in the 1940s he appears to have been the secretary to the Birmingham Citizen’s Society, (for the benefit of the poor of Birmingham).</p>
<p>He died 14<sup>th</sup> February 1976, leaving an estate of £3177.</p>
<p>JPC was a great friend of the Tarrant Baileys, and had given his address at 32 Park St Bristol as his contact address whilst with the RFC. He received banjo tuition from Clifford Essex, then R Tarrant Bailey Senior, and finally from Joe Morley.</p>
<p>He was a composer of note, including the Somerset March and others. A curious footnote concerns the origin of the popular song “Pack up your troubles” (Vale; 2014), which his daughter in law attributed to him.</p>
<p>Brewer W.M., BMG</p>
<p>Vale, J.., (2014) East Anglian Daily Times, 4<sup>th</sup> April 2014</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1901 Westerhall Rd, Upwey, Dorset</p>
<p>1915 General Delivery, Edmonton, Alberta Engineer</p>
<p>1917 Royal Military School Ruislip Aviator</p>
<p>1922 6 Morton Rd, Exmouth Occupation ‘nil’</p>
<p>1929 18 Wallasey Crescent, Ickenham, Uxbridge</p>
<p>1947 161 Corporation St, Birmingham</p>
<p>1976 2 Meadow Park, Bathford, Bath</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p>You will see that the date of Brewer's piece on him from the BMG is undated, and I think you might have the original. I would be obliged.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
