It looks as if Mary Walsh's QAIMNS service records are at the UK National Archives KEW reference WO 399/8673 - I don't know if anyone has investigated these yet, but I can imagine that some folks will want to if they haven't already.

Hello William !

I cannot thank you enough for coming forward and the information posted thus far. My interest is related to your grandfather's (and grandmother's) service on Malta - so anything you might be in a position to provide will be greatly appreciated.

I will attempt to contact you direct two weeks from now.

Thanks & regards

Wayne

Many thanks to William for allowing me to use the photo's also.
