WEDDING EVE CRASH
BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM GO TO HOSPITAL.
To be involved in a motoring accident two days before their wedding was the fate of a couple who were seriously injured w.hen their car crashed into a refuge on the Great West Road. Both were detained in the West Middlesex Hospital.
They were Miss Margaret Eileen Bishop, daughter of Mrs Down, of Old Cottage, Burchett’s Green, near Maidenhead, and Capt. D. A. H. Bannerman, of Combs Rectory, Stowmarket. Acceptances to the wedding numbered over 200, and included many famous people. Telegrams had to be sent notifying guests of the postponement of the ceremony, which was to have taken place at Hurley. The romance began in West Africa, when Capt, Bannerman, who is 31, was attached to the West African Frontier Force at Sierra Leone. Miss Bishop met him while visiting her uncle, Mr T. Goddard, Chief Assistant Colonial Secretary.
