William Robert Price
Price survived the war and wrote his war memoirs in 1962, but the manuscript was rejected by a publisher, and he left it to the Imperial War Museum Archive.
In civilian life Price was a Cambridge botanist who then worked at Kew Gardens. He had a speech impediment which at the time of the outbreak of the war influenced him not to apply for a commission, but join up in the ranks. There is, not surprisingly, fine detail in the story he wrote of his war experiences which it is hard to find elsewhere, and we must be thankful that his manuscript was found by his editor.
