Reuben Smith

The remains of Reuben Smith were found in the thick undergrowth of a coppice on a hill at Birdlip on Monday 8 January 1951.

All that remained was his skeleton which was found by a man that had lived in Pilley Crescent in Cheltenham whilst he was out for a walk searching for rabbits through the coppice near the Air Balloon Inn, a centre for visitors to the Leckhampton Hills.
