Looking for Information – Eccles
It would appear that a Law Firm (Ross Dowling Marquet & Griffin) has recently come across some old records of a past clients who had a naval affiliation and would now like to make contact. The two gentleman concerned are:
1. Alfred Eccles
2. Richard Jack Jenner Eccles (d. 6 July 1976)
If you have any information or know how to contact members of the family please email maree.baucke@nzdf.mil.nz who is handling the request.
Wasn’t Eccles a mate of Bluebottle?
Jim ..yes but I dont think it would fit the enquiry criteria but………..
The Famous Eccles (played by Spike Milligan) complete and utter idiot (both). An amiable, well-meaning man with no wits or understanding. When people tell him to shut up, he frequently joins in and often goes on telling himself to shut up long after everyone else has given up. Eccles often finds himself helping Ned Seagoon alongside Bluebottle. His idiotic logic is considered to epitomize Goon humour.
Catchphrases include “Hello der”, “Fine, fine, fine”, “I’m the famous Eccles” and “Shut up Eccles”.
