20-22. Cemetery : NANTES (PONT-DU-CENS) COMMUNAL CEMETERYComment: Jonathan Ives, who is assisting Pont Saint Martin, near Nantes in France, to trace living relatives of the 6 aircrew of a Wellington R1374, which crashed on the 8th May 1941. Concerning Peter Verral Read, gunner of that crew, he tells us that:“he has traced relatives of all 6 men, though in a number of cases, including Peter, the relations are very distant cousins, with little knowledge of the men.This was predicatable as these men were all young, few had even married and none had children”. In correspondence with the Dorking Advertiser, he had a reply from a cousin in Dorset who put him in contact with another cousin in Australia. Things are hampered by the high number of only children or men with only a single sibling. One of our members, Alan Fox, remembers that when he joined the Wolf Cubs of the 10th Dorking Scout Group in 1941 there was a plaque, commemorating a Peter Verral Read, together with a clock appearing on the end wall inside the Scout Hut which was situated between the Fire Station and St. Martin’s School off West Street. The 10th Dorking no longer exists but the 1st Dorking took over the Hut.
