seaJane Posted 30 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 30 December , 2014 According to (and apart from) Roger Dobson's entry for him in the ODNB, practically the only biography is the one by John Gawsworth, published in 2005 but written in the 1930s.

Scalyback Posted 30 December , 2014 Share Posted 30 December , 2014 It will end up in the National at Aber, so don't see why this is an issue. Newport is a run down town(this is not a political statement) with many problems, there are other issues the council needs to address. The National can archive the collection in a far better setting.
