JOY ERWIN AND JESTYN,TWO FALSE NAMES, PLUS ONE

 

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

On the first occasion that Alf Boxall met Jestyn at the Clifton Gardens Hotel, she was with another girl who was also introduced as a nurse. 

This girl accompanied Tom Musgrave and her name was said by Tom to be JOY ERWIN or IRVIN. There was no surname given for the girl 'Jestyn'.

Stuart Littlemore in his notes described the discussions with Tom Musgrave and how he, Stuart, had followed up on both names with the RNSH, no match was found for either Joy or Jestyn as graduates or in the Register of nurses. (An interesting aside is that Jess Harkness did not complete her training as a Nurse until the early 1950s.)

So, what do we have here? Two girls accompanying two army officers on a happenstance meeting at the Clifton Gardens Hotel. Both girls were using false names or so it would appear.

This was at a time when Alf had been recalled from Brisbane to set up training at Rushcutters Bay, Alf set about recruiting various people at that time.

Knowing what we now know about Alf's copy of the Rubaiyat and the presence of microcode on both the inscription page and the title page in such a way that you could only describe that book, handed to Alf by Jestyn some 12 months after their first meeting on yet another happenstance occasion, as a training manual in concealment and code techniques.

ON THE SUBJECT OF NAMES

Another name, this time this name was found on the back of the recovered Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam, that name is KING. Posted this find back in 2016.
