THE COMMANDO ASSOCIATION - LOST LEGION

LIST No. 3 September, 1973.

The number of letters received on this topic to date assure us that the first two, Lost Legion' lists are continually being referred to by many helpful members, andof the 338 names included so far we are delighted to say that 36 comrades have beengathered back into the fold. We record our thanks and appreciation to manycomrades who have endeavoured t6 help in find in!! lost members, and for manyinteresting letters received making helpful suggestions, all of which have beenworked upon. For instance: •• write to Joe Smith, as Jack Brown married his sister-chance a note to Mrs. ? ? ? in Ayr, where he was billetted as I am pretty sure hestill keeps in touch with the family-chance a note to Messrs. ? ? ? as I know hewas a representative of theirs", and so it goes on.

Members present at the last Annual General Meeting discussed the Lost Legionlists at gmat length, and especially the added interest which they have certainlycreated amongst us. It was agreed that we should continue the practise, at least forthe time being, so we have pleasure in sending out a further list of lost comradesherewith.

PLEASE BROWSE THROUGH THIS AND IF YOU CAN OFFER A HELPFUL LEADWHICH WILL ENABLE US TO REGAIN CONTACT WITH ANY OF THE COMRADESNAMED, KINDLY DROP A NOTE TO HENRY BROWN AT 2, LOWER SLOANE STREET,LONDON, S.W.1. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE.
