Thanks to a local friend we received a copy of the Chronicle dated November 6, 2008.

Your 150th anniversary, covered on pages 16 and 17 showed a photo of the youngest survivor of The Lancastria at her wedding on July 5, 1958.

That was our wedding and of course on July 5, 2008, we had our 50th anniversary.

Jacqueline and I, Harold, still attend Lancastria reunions and memorial trips to St Nazaire.

I was also most interested in your obituaryon page 2 for Bob Hamblin, who I remember very well from my time at Hounslow College.
