Illness
From the late 1930s, Duggan was living with his mistress Phyllis de Janzé in a small house in Chapel Street in Belgravia. He was much affected by de Janzé's death in April 1943. That July, Duggan fell gravely ill with tuberculosis, and was confined to hospital where he was operated on. However, Duggan did not improve, and on 14 September he was removed from the Reserve of Officers and granted the honorary rank of Captain.
