Anthony Tobias Mendelle was born within the sound of Bow Bells in 1918. He was conscripted into the army at 21 and served for six years throughout World War two, initially as a pilot posted to North Africa, and then by 1943 to Naples, Italy with the Army Education Corps. Here he got his first taste of broadcasting on the camp radio to the 1,000 troops stationed there. He also delivered lectures on subjects of his choice three or four times a day, to 200-300 troops at a time. Anthony was then posted to the HQ of the AEC in Perugia, Southern Italy, where he ran the university until 1946. He had married in 1942, and when he returned home was the father of Janet. After demobilisation he pursued an industrial career. He moved the family, now with the addition of son Paul, to run a factory in Wales where they stayed for many happy years. In 1956, he returned to London to run an asbestos factory. With the gradual realisation that this was an extremely unhealthy mineral, Anthony was instrumental in the decision to close the operation down. After retiring from industry, he continued to work, initially as a court reporter and then as practice manager for two firms of solicitors. For most of his adult life, Anthony was a writer of plays, stories and books, based on his life and experiences. One of his stories were broadcast on BBC radio. In 2011, his novel The Chechen Assassination Plot, published under the name Anthony Tobias, was based on a true murder case he was involved in whilst running a criminal lawyer's practice. When his wife of nearly 60 years, Nan, passed away he continued writing, cycling, and playing Scrabble and snooker, almost until his death in 2015, aged 97. Anthony leaves a son and daughter, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Anthony Tobias Mendelle was born within the sound of Bow Bells in 1918.
