THANK YOU, THANK YOU

With reference to request received concerning Bert Knight (March Gazette), who died as a POW on the Burma Railway:

Within hours of distribution of the March Gazette, I had three phone calls concerning Bert Knight. I have been able to put Mick Knight in contact with another POW who was at Bert’s bedside the night he died. I also have the name of a book, about the Burma Railway and many of the POWs who died, that lists Bert.

I find it very moving that you, the people of Gamlingay, respond so readily to these queries. Below is a brief reply from Mick Knight:

Dear Roderick
You don't know what a joy your email gave me this morning - and how I kick myself for not checking my email daily. This is great news. I will telephone (name withheld at present) and see if we can't get to see .. I'll let you know how things develop.
Many, many thanks again
Mick Knight

Thank you again,
Roderick Starksfield

P.S. In view of the way you respond to these requests, anyone out there know how to make an anti-gravity machine?
