The Penang Cheshire Home, as is all the Cheshire Homes around the world, is named after Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire (1917-1992), one of the most decorated British Royal Air Force pilots of the Second World War. However the war, and particularly perhaps the atomic bomb dropped at Nagasaki - at which he was the official British observer - spurred him in a different direction, to eventually found the Leonard Cheshire Disability, an organisation that provides support to disabled people throughout the world. It remains one of the thirty top British charities.
