Ronald Ward

Ronald Ward (5 April 1901 – 31 March 1978) was a British actor who, alongside his stage work, appeared in more than twenty British films between 1931 and 1956. He was born in Eastbourne in 1901 as Ronald William Ward, and made his screen debut in the 1931 film Alibi. One of his biggest roles was in the popular Vera Lynn vehicle We'll Meet Again, where he was effectively the male lead (although he was billed fourth), co-starring with Lynn and Patricia Roc.

His final marriage was to the actress Betty Baskcomb; and he was father of photographer Michael Ward.
