1935 Wookey Hole Divers

The Diving forum seems the most appropriate place for this:

I'm putting together a reprint of "The Log of the Wookey Hole Exploration Expedition 1935".  More generally known as "The Log of the Wookey Hole Divers", only 175 copies were ever produced and these are something of an expensive rarity.  In addition to the full text of the original, the reprint will include supporting material, such as Graham Balcombe's story of how the book came to be produced.  It would also be useful to include an Epilogue detailing the fortunes of the six cave divers that took part.  I have enough information on Balcombe, Powell, Harris and Frost but am interested to fill some specifics for:

Charles Wilfred "Bill" Bufton - anything really - year and age at death would be a start.
Bill Tucknott - MNRC NL(54) appended sheet has details - but I don't.

(the Mendip Cave Registry came in handy filling in a few gaps when searching for obituaries but I drew a blank with Bufton).

Thanks in advance.

Duncan
