Hi William,

Four photographs i.e. one taken with what I believe could be three of your relatives, one of the 85th Anti tank regiment, I think it was taken in Durban before setting sail on the Narkunda troop ship as part of the reinforcement convoy. Harry is the fourth from the left. A personal postcard of Harry and one photograph taken on a cart being pulled by a native, on the back of the postcard it reads 'wishing you a merry christmas which is in 1941

Best wishes.

Hi Jackie,

I have joined rootschat, Charlotte Evans (maiden name Jones) was my mother's eldest sister, I am very interested in Harry Leslie Evans and have a postcard of the 85th Anti-tank regiment which I think may have been taken in Durban before leaving for Singapore. My wife and I visited Kranji war memorial in Singapore around April 17th for the first time this year and laid a poppy cross on his grave from the Flint Legion Branch. It is a sad story as they were only married for three years, I was very close to Charlotte and the wreath was laid on her behalf. His name is on the Flint cenotaph and on a memorial plaque in the Flint legion and the new Doctor's surgery in Flint.

Regards.
