JM Holford is my grandfather. I wrote this article after seeing that he was mentioned in the South Africa Chess Championship page with a link to his non-existing page.

- Hi, I've removed the comment about his "pass" at Cambridge and the reference "as heard by his grandson". The reason is as the author of the article you don't really meet the criteria as a third party source. Please do not take any offense. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 08:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Most of this text is taken from his RCP obituary - I just kept the factual bits. Linking this article to the articles on the ships he served on and the honours he received made me realise how much he actually did and what dangers he was exposed to during the war. He was so humble he never said anything about this !
