Good afternoon,
I am sorry for troubling you but I wonder if you would do me a favor please? Several years ago you posted in reply to a thread about warrant officer Garware who died when his Spitfire crashed in December 1943, you offered to e mail someone a photo of him, would you mind e mailing me the photo please? The reason I ask is that this man’s commonwealth grave has fascinated me for years and I would love to print and laminate a photo of him to leave on his grave along with a little bit of info for others to read.
As I said I am sorry for messaging you out of the blue, but I hope you agree that it would be a decent thing to do for him.
Kind regards,
Gareth Williams.
