What a shame we never had the pleasure of meeting him especially as our family lived in Canning Highway, Como, WA during the 1940’s early 1950’s. The name Higginson is a fairly rare and privileged name in Australia. I suspect it is quite common in England and no doubt quite common in Ireland.
Vale Philip Higginson may you rest in Heaven in eternal peace. Yours fondly, Philip Higginson.
