General Notes: A very cultured and literary person. Educated at East Barnet Grammar school, Aldenham school and Clare College, Cambridge. Mellon scholarship to Yale, USA, to study architecture.
RODERICK CHARLES LACK died in his sleep early on New Year's day, 1969. Rod Lack made more impact on the College than most people do, even though he seemed almost cat-like in his self-sufficiency. This was because his strongest interests were essentially private ones which, nonetheless, were capable of taking public forms. Outside literature (which he studied professionally, as it were, in the English Faculty) he was an artist; a private artist in his oil paintings (done in a bold, dashing style) but a public one in his designs for stage sets and for the decor of the May Ball. People will remember his enthusiasm and his capacity for working himself to the bone on his current project. Something of the same idiosyncratic vigour showed in other ways. As a student of literature he was never tidy, because he would not, fortunately, subdue his interests to the prudential requirements of the Tripos. Where he was interested, he read, and the weekly essay took second place. In Part 11 he found a course that could accommodate him. Characteristically he increased his load by taking the difficult option of a Part 11 Modern Languages paper in French, but equally characteristically did well both in that subject and in the examination as a whole. His competence, versatility and personality won him a Mellon Fellowship to Yale.
Outside, as well as inside his work, Rod was a rover. He could always be counted on to have planned an unusual vacation. He was prepared to travel widely, hard and alone in pursuit of his interests; for example he slept rough in Turkey as a means of continuing a long-term investigation, begun while still at school, of the mosaics of the region. The Mellon Fellowship provided an opportunity for a radical change of direction and Rod took it. At Yale he acknowledged his true bent by entering the School of Architecture. Those of us who met him at Yale will remember not only the confidence and drive that thrust him on to meet the challenge of his new discipline, but the enthusiasm with which he put his knowledge to practical use as a member of a group that erected a community centre in a depressed area in the Kentucky hills.
Rod came back to Cambridge to continue his architectural studies with every sign of having found his niche. He was lively, enthusiastic and looked physically very well. News of his sudden death so soon afterwards came, to those who knew him, as a shock from which they are not likely yet to have recovered.J.R.N.

44. Alastair Patrick Steele was born on 25 Jan 1906 and died on 5 Mar 1943 in Solomon Islands at age 37.
General Notes: Major Alastair Patrick Steele, R.A.
Friends of Dr. Steele will regret to learn that his second son, Major Alastair Patrick Steele, R.A., has been posted by the War Office as “Missing, presumed drowned.”
Alastair was born in Swatow, China, and was educated at the Royal Academy, Inverness and Tollington School, Tetherdown, London. From the University College Reading he took the B.Sc. at London University. Thereafter, he graduated at the Dick Veterinary College, Edinburgh, securing the Diploma of State Veterinary Medicine with many distinctions. His final appointment at home was that of Veterinary Inspector to the Orkney and Shetland Islands, with his headquarters at Kirkwall. During that period he shared the command of one of the vital defences of Scapa Flow with Eric Linklater, the novelist.
Having achieved his majority, he was then appointed Instructor of Gunnery to the Eastern Command. He was ordered to Hong Kong in 1942, but, when that fortress fell, the transport was directed to Singapore, where he arrived, only to be captured by the Japanese when the Malay Peninsula was finally occupied by the enemy. At Changi prison camp he was put in charge of the anti-Mosquito Campaign.
From Singapore, he and 600 other prisoners were shipped to New Britain in the Pacific, he being second in command of the group. In New Britain he was put in charge of the working parties, and “handled the Japanese” with much skill, to the advantage of the men under him.
From there, he and the men who could travel were sent to the Solomon Islands, and then back to New Britain. The final move was in a ship bound for New Guinea, and of that voyage nothing is known, nor has any news been received since.
Two of his friends, a Captain and Instructor in Gunnery in ,the R.A. (who died later from malnutrition) and a medical Orderly, bore testimony to him as “the straightest man they had ever known, a great man and a fine Christian.”
He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Candlish, and two children, Alastair Kenneth and Eileen Fiona, now living in Dumfries.
Alastair married Helen Candlish. Helen was born on 23 May 1905 and died on 11 Apr 2000 at age 94.
