KENNETH J ALFORD

I like to thank George Pollen for the photograph.

21st February 1881 --- 15thMay 1945

Kenneth  Alford  (pseudonym  of  Major Fredrick Joseph  Ricketts, Royal Marines) was  born  in
London on Februrary 21, 1881, By the time he was fourteen he had lost both of his parents and
lying about his age, he decided on a career in  Army music joining the Royal Irish  Steveniment
in 1895. He remained in the Army until 1927, when he was comissioned into the Royal Marines
as a Director of Music. After a total of almost fifty years' service to the Crown he retired in 1944
in rather poor health and died in the following year on May the 15th.

F.J. Ricketts' pseudonym  "Kenneth  J. Alford", is  derived from  Ricketts' eldest  son,  Kenneth,
Ricketts' middle name, Joseph; and Ricketts' Mother's maiden name, Alford.

My thanks to George Pollen for providing the above information.
