I have a couple of newspaper clips about EJBR.
I Imagine that in the run up to WW2, there was little column space for this type of incident.
have a great picture of EJRB, running, would put you mind of Chariots of Fire.Mags

Hi Cell,
I would very much appreciate any other information you have about EJBR .
My uncle now 84 is very interested in him.
I did a bit of research and got papers from the RAF several years ago.
Story in the family is that my Grandfather- William - got the news and , went to his Mother’s house. she said you don’t need to tell me, I know he’s dead.

Hi Cell,

EJBR -Edward James  Bruce Russell Gillespie.
He was my Grandfather’s youngest brother. My Grandfather was William Gillespie. Councillor Ballyclare Urban District Council
I believe he was a great athlete. Have a picture of him as a young man.

Thank you very much Gaffy.
Looks absolutely correct as his Mother and younger brother were both buried in Carnmoney.
 Been many years since I’ve been researching, and am more than a bit rusty.
I’d be very grateful if you could let me know how to access the Newsletter online.
Many thanks again,
Mags
