Harry Hoad: I have a picture

[desperance]

Through the kindness of his great-niece, I have a photograph of Harry Hoad in uniform. As soon as I can get it scanned and uploaded, I will post it here.

That would be lovely -- please. I would love to see his face.

Me to. How very cool.

Does she know of the memorial at Central Station (http://www.newmp.org.uk/detail.php?contentId=8196)?

Yup, she does, thanks; I pointed her to it when you found it last week. Maybe we should have a little pilgrimage, to find it...?

If you do, then I think this page has contact details for the Buffer Bear Nursery which is the current occupier of the site.

I cannot remember if you have a scanner, but we have two, and you are visiting tomorrow.

Yes, that'd be good. Presumably we'd need to go when the nursery is open. I'm back from Sweden on Thursday night. How about going on Friday?

I could do Friday after hospital appointment (that's 9.45am - allegedly - so we'd be looking at late morning). If they'd let us in. Nurseries are probably quite wary about middle-aged men turning up asking to look at their monuments...

PS - am dropping them an e-mail...
