Appreciate that this post was over 2 years ago. My family, especially my grandmother talked about cordite convoy quite a bit. He was my grandmothers uncle. His sister was my grandmothers mum. I remember photos my grandmother had, he was a policeman. The conroy family lived in Pemberton, Wigan. From what my grandmother told me, Kay Burley the news presenter is also part of his legacy, part of the family in some way.

I believe he worked as a policeman in the 20’s
