Leslie Ronald Jubbs was born on 23 February 1925, and grew up at 34[1] Price Street in South Fremantle. In 2008 he wrote a memoir, The Un-Wanted Bomber Pilot, from which the following quotations come:[2]
When I about 5 years of age an older lad showed me how to climb onto the roof of a factory in the next street. Although there was a certain amount of fear at such a height the vista of the world below and to the horizon towards Garden Island blocked out any real concern (until it came time to return to ground level).
Just before my 6th birthday my parents and my younger brother, Keith Roland, moved to Stratford Street in East Fremantle. Looking from the back veranda of our house we could see across the vacant blocks to the Richmond State School, which was higher up than our property.
The West Australian, 1 December 1947:[3]
Mr. and Ms.. L . Dow, 397 Albany-road, Kelmscott, have pleasure in announcing the engagement of their daughter Jean to Leslie Ronald Jubbs, eldest son of Mrs. McMahon and stepson of Mr. G. McMahon. of Woodman's Point.
Jubbs' five-year-old son died in 1958.[4]
