On behalf of my late father, Alan A. Newcombe, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to its completion. But why did it take 60 odd years for it to happen? My dad was at sea throughout his life, but he would never talk about his wartime experiences. But at last I feel that somebody has recognised his and other MN members' contributions. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. 878 September 03 2008 at 08:53:59 Full Name: M Williams Email: mtw82@mtwilliams.mobi Home Town?: Wrexham Message Text: Please could everybody have a look at this petition http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SEATAX/ Many Thanks Marc 879 September 03 2008 at 08:02:00 Full Name: Mike Stanley Email: elliemike@iinet.net.au Home Town?: Liverpool Message Text: Ex engineer, Bolton SS Co, Trinder Anderson, Corrie' Moss Hutchison Line 880 September 02 2008 at 08:44:08 Full Name: Ann Henderson Email: henderson.ann@orange.fr Home Town?: Chassenon, France Message Text: Trying to get postal address for Terence Heggan,Rhyll,Victoria ,Australia whose entry appeared 15th Aug.
