John, is it possible to upload photos or memories of Wally to this site? I was thinking that some of his ex-3RGJ mates would love to be able to do that. Gerry
 
Hello All. My elderly neighbour Alan was brothers with Wally. He was the only child out of the five siblings to be put into a children's home when their mother died, he was the youngest at five. Because of this he doesn't remember his parents names, know where they are buried or know where his siblings are, if still living, although we know he has nieces and nephews. He is totally alone and I would love to be able to reunite him. I am stunned what we have found so far, so quickly, especially about Wally. Any help gratefully received, victoriapenrose2003@yahoo.co.uk
