(The memorial card contains the wrong date)

Freedom is Not Free.

Ian-would it be possible for you to send me copies of the memorial card and any other information you might have for the Fusilier Museum archive? I can be reached at:
Mark Hone,

Hello Mark,

First of all, thank you for the interest, I will gladly do all I can to provide you with copies of all the information that I have / can obtain.

The above image is a scanned image of a photocopy that my father gave me a copy of - so the quality of the document I have is good but not excellent. I'll send you a PM and if you want I can then e-mail the jpeg image I have of the page on my work computer (it contains other information relating to the Suttons plus a photo of Raymond plus his younger brother Harry in their childhood.

I am now at work and will be overseas all next week so I cannot post a paper copy to you until I return. As far as the originals are concerned we both hope that they are still held by someone in the family but cannot be certain as my father got the photocopy from his cousin who has sinced passed away.

I have already asked my father to help me contact the various members of the family that may hold original documents relating to Raymond Sutton so that I can borrow them and produce high quality copies. If I achieve that then I will gladly also send copies to you. Fingers crossed!

All the best,

Ian.

Remembering.

Thank you for the freedom that I enjoy.

RIP

Scottie.
