old sparky Posted 7 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2014 Thank you very much TEW. I have been Googling like mad since I read your most welcome reply but I still can't find the poem. Do you have a copy of it or can you point me in the direction of the publisher please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 7 November , 2014 Share Posted 7 November , 2014 I've tried to find the full poem as well and failed. You could try contacting the man who put up the info on Find A Grave, you'll need to register. There are also his private papers at IWM, but too early for the poem. And 'Family Notebook Vols 1 & 2 by JRT Aldous' Printed/published privately circa 1964/65, it may be in there but I can't find an available copy, Amazon list it but it's unavailable.
