Hello Ken.
ReplyDeleteRoderick Alphonsis McIntyre was my gr gr uncle and I have a significant amount of information on him including letters that he wrote during the war. Is there a way I could contact you to pass on this info?
Hi Jerome,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the message. I'd be greatly interested in the documentation you have on your great-great uncle. Please e-mail direct at militaryhistorian@gmail.com and we'll figure out a way to get the material to me.
Thanks again,
Ken
