    As he is the student of keble college near 1980 so please can you send me his address.
    Got information about him from Wellington college as mentioned below.
    When J A C Skinner was admitted to Wellington College in 1878, he was recorded as the son of J E H Skinner and the address recorded in the admission register was 3, Dr Johnson’s Buildings, Temple, London. This address still exists, but it is now a solicitor’s office.

    J A C Skinner had two sons who also came to Wellington College: Hilary Frances Cleveland Skinner, who was killed in the First World War in 1916, and John Adrian Dudley Skinner, who lived until 1965. He became a doctor, and served as a Royal Navy surgeon during the First World War. He married Nora Evelyn Goodchild and had one son and one daughter.
    I read an article of you about Hilary Frances Cleveland Skinner in Operation war Diary Talk. Can you help me to find out about grandson or living family member of JAC Skinner to whom I can contact,
    Regards,
