Message: [QUOTE="181214, post: 275951, member: 181214"] Hello People! I'm afriad that I've had a bit of a disappointing morning. Yes there is an obituary in the Echo (Southampton edition) for Haddock, but the quality is extremely poor. No sooner I got home I did phone the Echo this afternoon only to find out that there Newspaper Archives are strictly out of bounds to the general public. For obvious reasons the condition of most of the illustrated editions are in such a fragile state now. I was just wondering if Inger Sheil could come to our aid. I am going to send a copy in the post to you Inger as well as that also applies to Mark Baber in the United States. Moreover for those who are curious the heading comes under the title [b] "Nelson Of The Merchant Service" Death of Former White Star Commodore. Date Saturday October 5th 1946[/b]. Unfortunately the angle of the mircofiche means, I can hardly read any of the report because this part of the obituary is situated on the right hand side (centre folding page) which has resulted that this section has kind of been chopped off on a tilted edge. [i]Most annoying[/i]. [i]Ing Darlin! Please come to our rescue and see what can be discovered at Colingsdale .....Please![/i] Best wishes Andrew W. [/QUOTE]
