Death of Albert Victor Frain, aged 48. Mr. Frain was a marine engineer from Aberdeen, who left £1,230 (net) in his will -presumably to his wife Marguerite who lived in Aberdeen.
According to George Wright-Nooth, he had once been a seaman. He lost his mind - it is not known if before or after the start of the war - and was looked after in a small room of Tweed Bay Hospital by attendants, usually police, who were given two biscuits a day for the mental strain.
