Gordon Conall Lethbridge-Stewart

 was the son of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart (PROSE: The Wages of Sin) and father of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He was born in 1902. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son) He could remember reading about the Wright Brothers' first flight. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Gordon married Mary Gore in the early 1920s and moved to the Cornish village of Bledoe shortly after. There he and Mary had two sons. The first, born in 1925, was called James after Mary's father, and the second, born in 1929, was called Alistair after Gordon's father. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son)

Alistair recalled one time, when his father brought home a piece of Bakelite to show his children. It was like moonrock. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

He served in the Royal Air Force during the second World War, and was officially listed as Missing in Action in 1945. Like many others lost during the war, Gordon was honoured with a white cross in the graveyard of Bledoe Parish Church, which remained there until at least the late 1960s. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son)

Alistair once claimed his father told him, "Alistair, in life as on the field of battle, there are old soldiers, and then there are bold soldiers. But there are very few old bold soldiers." (AUDIO: Old Soldiers)
