The names on the photographs are largely Wells, Knott and Simms. The locations are Gloucester, Belfast, Richmond, Warrington, Sale and Epsom. There are several photos of family members in the RN. If anyone can help me put these family memories into the right hands I would be very much obliged. If they would contact me, preferably with some Christian names to cross-refer, then I can supply more detailed information. 7/9/02
