Susan, Bob Tyson told me about this and his is researching this time. I would really like to learn more. For me it is hard to believe that they would be shipped to a small village in the US. Why would they do something like that?

I have a friend based in Bodmin, Cornwall who is a reporter for the Cornish
Guardian newspaper. He is always keen on covering stories with a WWII
interest, so if I can help via him, please let me know and I'll be glad to
ask him. He knows a great deal of the local history and stories and also
knows many of the Cornish veterans, so I am quite sure he may be of some
help.

Regards,
