Does anyone have any record of this. I did see a mention of this in the Telegraph many years ago. |

I think it is acceptable to post as long as I mention the site www.britishnewspaper archive.co.uk. Mods, if this is a problem I will remove but I have tried to send it direct to Colin and it keeps getting rejected by the mail.

It appears he was my Mothers cousin. I was five years old at the time and can vagely remember my Grandparents talking about it. I can now show my Grand children this story. Once again , thank you. |
