A
Herefordshire evacuee is hoping to solve a wartime mystery. Brian
Gordon believes he met film star Leslie Howard in Ledbury, and thinks
a local resident could have a photo to prove it. |

At
the age of four Brian Gordon was evacuated from London and sent to
live for a year in Much Marcle.
Sixty years later, Brian has been back to Herefordshire to jog some
memories.
He's found relatives of his wartime hostess, but he's still no closer
to solving a mystery that has puzzled him for a lifetime.
Brian believes he and other evacuees posed for a photograph with film
star Leslie Howard at Ledbury's market house sometime in late 1940.
But despite wading through microfilm records at Ledbury's library,
no picture has materialised.
Brian is now hoping someone in Herefordshire has a copy to prove his
memory hasn't Gone with the Wind.
If you have the photo or were photographed as well then please contact us . |
