Message: [QUOTE="Mark Baber, post: 275949, member: 79063"] I recently tracked down Haddock's obit in The Times (London); it's even less informative than The New York Times' obit as to his post-war life. It reads, in its entirety: [i]Captain Herbert James Haddock, C. B., R. N. R., formerly Commodore of the White Star Line, died at Southampton on Saturday at the age of 85.[/i] Another puzzle: The New York Times' obit, with a dateline of "Oct. 5", says Haddock died "today"; The Times' obit, published 7 October 1946, says he died "Saturday", which would also make the date 5 October. The death notices published on the first page of The Times on both 7 and 8 October, though, say he died on "Oct. 4, 1946". MAB [/QUOTE]
