Was about to e.mail you direct:

Adding by attachment my working notes, I atempt only to help and would appreciate anything that you may be able to add.

40 years on, this remembrance has to be virtually a definitive, for them.

As I search find much about lives, rather than just names. Hopefully, this year we can also record many lives ?

Thanks K.

Hello Keith,

Wow, speachless... Thank you so much for passing on this information, As I live in Australia and have 3 young kids this journey would be impossible but am thrilled to hear of it. I will though let Roy's brothers know of this ( they live in the U.K and am sure will be thrilled to hear of this ) I must admit it has brought a tear to my eyes hearing of this, thank you very much for forwarding this on to me.

Regards,

Brian Roy Mills.

Hello Cynthia,

Many thanks for your posting re Royston Grange. Although I did not know anybody who perished in that tragic incident, as an ex Merchant Navy seaman it could have been any one of us. Again thank you for your input.
