PPA - Charles *Bum* Curtis

[dhowsie]

Charles Curtis was 1st cousin to Betty Howes, their mothers were sisters and came from Oxford. We have been researching the family and came across your site, thank you, we have found out so much about Charles now - a member of the family did know that he was killed and that he was a member of Polski's Private Army but to find his photograph on your site was amazing. To the family he was known as *Chum* - we would like to ask if anybody knows if his name appears on the new memorial and ofcourse if anybody can offer any further information on this brave man we would love to hear from you. Thank You All.
