Vernon J Yarker

I was born in South Woodham Ferrers, in the county of Essex, UK, in 1936. I joined the Royal Air Force and trained as a telegraphist and I spent the next 25 years with them in many countries. When I left the RAF I worked in Holland before returning to England where I was engaged in another military occupation.

I was the founder and Chairman of a national charity and I have served on three national committees for organisations relevant to the elderly. I am now retired and I live in Maldon, Essex, UK.
