Hello all,

Sorry I haven't given much sign of life lately.

Just to let you know I've got in touch with a relative of the Smith family and we have been comparing notes since. They didn't know Arthur had died during the war, so that's news for them too.

I wouldn't have mananged without your help, many thanks to you all.

If I hear from the library at Shellbrook (no news thus far) I'll post the news.

All the best!
