Squadron Leader John

In the novel Murder in Mesopotamia, Squadron Leader John is a friend of Mary Kelsey. His last name is not given.

Nurse Amy Leatheran meets John shortly before she is to begin working for Dr Leidner. John tells her that Mrs Leidner is known as “Lovely Louise”, because she thinks she is very lovely. Mrs Kelsey tells him not to be spiteful, as many people have been very smitten with her, including John himself.

John also says that Eric Leidner worships the ground Louise walks on, and all the rest of the expedition has to worship too, as it is expected of them.
