Four Children "I'm more than happy to put names to all of these children since I attended the same primary school and indeed was in the same class as some of them. From left to right they are:- - Grahame Roy - John Coutts - Raymond Dibben - Margaret Dibben (Raymond's younger sister). I don't know where any of them live now, but I was contacted, back in 2011, by Margaret Dibben (now Margaret MacAloon). . John Douglas, France: 28 September 2016 |
