Alan Jennings obituary

My father, Alan Jennings, who has died aged 93, was a pioneer in the field of radiotherapy for cancer treatment and radiation science.

He was born to Leila (nee Shepherd) and Sylvanus Jennings in Geneva, where his father, a Quaker, was the European correspondent of the News Chronicle. Alan went to school in Geneva until his teens when he went as a boarder to the Friends' school in Saffron Walden, Essex.
