| Hello
I wonder if someone in the Abergavenny branch could help me? I would like to get in touch with Percy Bowman who used to live in Gwent Place, Mardy, and was active in the Abergavenny group 10 or 15 years ago.
I know yo wouldn't be able to give me an address for privacy reasons but thought someone might be able to pass on an envelope.
The reason I'm anxious for this to happen is that when I lived in Abergaveny as a teenager some 40 years ago, Percy, who was a motor mechanic (and served as such in the Royal Navy in WWll)was my mentor. Indeed, he sold me my first motor car when I was 15 (1964). The car, an Austin Big Seven still exists in first class condition (a tribute to Percy's custody all those years ago) and I have recently received a magazine with an article about the Austin and some intervening history plus a recent picture.
I thought Percy would be interested and possibly thrilled by this situation and would like to send him the publication.
Can you help.
Yours faithfully and warmest seasonal greting from very snowy France!
Martyn Nutland
PS My late father, Bill Nutland, served on HMS Fame circa 1943/44 but was not in the Association. | |

| On behalf of AB/Sem Jimmy Young who served on HMS Manxman in the Pacific in the latter stages of the war. Jimmy would love to hear from old shipmates who remember him. Jimmy lives in Jersey C.I. and still works! He runs a 2nd hand furniture store and is in good health. If you remember Jimmy please contact via my email. I will post an ancient picture of him (if he allows!)
