8 May 1958 Telephone Richmond 7012 Interview Q.S.

48 Priory Road Kew Richmond Surrey 6th May 1958 9 9/5.

Dear Sir,

I have read with intent your advertisement which appeared in todays 'Times'.

I served through the greater part of the war with No 4. Commando and I was fortunate enough to be in the first landings in Normandy.

I shall be pleased to help you in any way.

If you wish to telephone me it is best to do so in the evenings.

I myself was not an officer, but may I suggest that you get in touch with the secretary of the Commando Old Commander Association. He would have the addresses of most officers. He also has, I believe, some excellent photographs.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me if I can help you further

Yours Faithfully John. T. M. Mason
