Hi all,
I am trying to locate the family of a former 218 Squadron flight commander, S/Ldr Ernest Frank Sly DFC AFM, he was born in Quaperlake Street, Bruton, Somerset in 1916. I have tried a few papers in the area, will no luck.
Any of you chaps who live in the west country know of a "friendly" news paper that might run an add?
Any help appreciated
Steve

There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Hi Steve,
Alan's given you the ones I'd have thought of. Blackmore Vale Magazine used to do a sister publication which included the Bruton area, but no more. It's only fifteen minutes from us, I could try sticking an ad in newsagent etc?

I think it's worth putting something in the BVM too. Bruton may not receive it but families tend to be around an area and Bruton's only a short distance away.
