Race With Death and a Young Engineer
A 24 year old, Evelyn Miles Wilkinson, died from fatal injuries after a collision while riding a motorcycle near Southampton. News of the accident reached his parents in Kingstown, County Dublin, via a BBC bulletin. They hurried by night boat to Holyhead, then by train to Southampton, arriving shortly after ten, only to learn he had died earlier that morning. He had been training for a year in the Southampton Boat Office engineering department before taking a position overseas.
