I have several personal letters written by Russ Bowdery to his wife while he was stationed in India while serving with the RAF during the Second World War. I would be delighted to give them to his family members, if they would be of interest. Can the newspaper perhaps facilitate this? - Posted by: Dr. John Hall (None) on: Sep 21, 2015
