SIR – I thoroughly enjoyed Mike Pryce’s column about Denis Margretts with asides on George Cowley.
I was surprised recently that George is five years younger than me, but I never realised Denis to be in his 90s.
Like Denis, my letters are all handwritten.
We are probably fortunate Denis did not lead the charge over muddy fields and sand dunes, or we may not have had the pleasure of all his letters. However, I am sure his clerical skills in logistics helped to win the war in other ways.
I look forward to many more Margretts letters to the editor and I hope as well as the Queen’s telegram in due course we shall be blessed with a letter in the paper from Denis on that day.
PHIL PEGLER,
Worcester.
