[QUOTE="stormdog, post: 47775, member: 32510"] [b]Stanley Laverick[/b] You might be interested to know that as I write this I have before me a 12x17cm 1942 photograph of Stan Laverick who is seemingly on Crete and cooking 'al fresco'. It is intended to put this image up online elsewhere, along with shots of some of his colleagues, and I will repost here with a link when this is done. Meanwhile there is a small mention of "Stan" Laverick in a now out of print book: He Who Dares, by David Sutherland, published 1998 by Leo Cooper an imprint of Pen and Sword, ISBN 0 85052 643 4 Should you somehow manage to get hold of a copy of this book and then look in the index under Laverick you will see him referred to as "John" Laverick, immediately above this you will notice an entry for "Stanley" Lavarett, this is this is how it appears in the text of the book, modern indexes are first computer compiled from the text, the author was 78 years old when the volume was published. It would seem that there has been a slight confusion on the part of David Sutherland as the photograph album that was owned by him and dating from circa the 1950s has a type written caption clearly reading "Stan Laverick". Sadly David Sutherland died in the 1990's and in a hand written note loose within the album it says that Stan Laverick was a great cook. It is hoped that this will be of assistance in your quest for further information. [/QUOTE]
