Hi Peter

Welcome back, and since you posted this way back in 2010, The Times Archive through your library card should be available upto 2010 now.

A notice was placed on 20th October 1987.

Thanks Dawn. Do you have a link for that please.

Hi Peter
I am researching WW2 POW camp Oflag 12B. The Padre at that camp was Hugh Peter Laurence. Is this the same person?
I would appreciate being able to communicate with his decendants if this is the case.
Regards
Ian

Could well be! I'll see what I can find out for you over the weekend.

The Common Room / Queen Victoria Jubilee medals 1887
« on: Sunday 10 August 14 17:43 BST (UK)  »
WE have just unearthed two Queen Victoria Jubilee medals from 1887. The inscription around the outside seems to say BORN 1819 CROWNED 1838 MARRIED 1840. In the center it reads VICTORIA JUBILEE 1887. On the reverse, the inscription at the top says WEAR ONLY F. DUNN BOOTS and underneath it gives the proprietor's addresses at Sleaford, Brigg and Retford. I've never seen or heard of these medals before and wondered if anyone could enlighten me further?

World War Two / North Africa unit
« on: Thursday 06 February 14 07:55 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to obtain details of the war service of Robert Wilkinson who appears to have served overseas with a military unit in North Africa. I have a letter and Christmas card with the sender's details and address but I don't understand the jargon. Can anyone help please?
