Top Plymouth Headlines This Week
Historic blue plaque honours scientist, explorer and soldier (P.8)
A new blue plaque has been unveiled in Stoke in honour of Ralph Alger Bagnold, a Plymouth-born man who became a scientist, explorer and soldier and whose ground breaking research into sand dunes has been recognised by NASA.
Bagnold was born in 1896 and grew up in Stoke. During the First World War he was an engineer in the British Army. He then served in the Second World War as the first commanding officer of the ‘Long Range Desert Group.’ The unit carried out dangerous reconnaissance work and raids behind enemy lines in North Africa and is considered to be a forerunner of the SAS.
