John F.C. Westerman

John Francis Cyril Westerman (born 1901) was an English author of children's literature. He was the son of author Percy F. Westerman, and published 30 books of his own, including edited works for Oxford University Press. [http://www.collectingbooksandmagazines.com/wester.html J.F.C. and Percy Westerman] ]

He was married to Muriel Poulter after her separation from her husband C N Lindsaye by whom she had two children, Hugh and Jennie. J F C Westerman "adopted" the children although they retained the surname of LINDSAYE. He rose to the rank of major in the British army serving with the King's African Rifles and in Korea. Late in life around 1977 he was known to have lived on a yacht both in Gibraltar harbour and off the coast of Gibraltar with his second wife Margaret, an Irish career nursing sister. They later moved to a static caravan home along the Costa del Sol.
