Letters to the EditorDesperately Seeking George Scurry
Please could you ask your readers if they could help me find a chap by the name of George Scurry? He would be in his middle 70's now but came from Broken Hill..in fact I think he was born there. He worked with a great friend of mine in Ceylon on something to do with Cable Wireless at the end of WW2. If there is any info I can be contacted on mailto:[email protected] or my address is 95 The Righi, Heidelberg 3084 Many thanks from Gwen Rogerson
