Grave of William Adam Harkness - for KatieKazoo

Hi KK

I see I'm not allowed to post this in a reply to your post, and I couldn't attach it to a PM (for whatever reason), but here is the report from the Bournemouth Echo of 30th September 1943.

Fabulous. So not an armaments factory then?  Wonder if the difference is due to WW2 censorship or misremembered family lore.  I'll be seeing William's son later so will give him the article and see whether his mother told him anything else.

Thanks again.

Living where he was, the bakery would have been only a couple of streets away - it was there until a couple of years ago!
