SIR - On behalf of Kure City Council History Library, Japan, I am anxious to make contact with anybody who served in the Kure area from late 1945 to 1956 as a member of the British Army, Navy or Royal Air Force.

Memories, and the loan of old photographs of Japan, are needed for copying in to the Kure City Council History Library (originals will be returned). To date 698 people have helped.

Phone me on 01603 433259 if you can help, or write to me at 43 Armstrong Road, Thorpe, Norwich, NR7 9LJ.

WILF ALDRIDGE, Norfolk
