[78-L] Help please from UK members

[Ron L'Herault]

I tried-mailing the BBC  already with a nice description of what was on the
disk.  I basically got a link to the current list of presenters from an
automated response server.  I rather doubt that a live person at the BBC
even saw the e-mail.

Yes, frustrating I realise Ron.  Have you consideredwriting to the BBC in
London - they may be long winded but in the end helpful.   Can I assist you
further,
 
Russ

Hello,
 
My collector colleague who worked for the BBC in a senior role for many
years (now retired) regrets he never heard of, or came into contact with
him.

I recently digitized a recording made during WWII in England.   It was done
for an American, Lieutenant Hayes, by a recently made friend, David
Southwood, a British soldier and employed (before, during, after?) the war.
They scripted the 12" lacquer with music in and out, an intro by Southwood,
greetings by Hayes, with a Christmas message to his family.  They included a
report on bombing with what sounded like an on-the-scene air raid report,
gave closing remarks and signed off with music.   Lieutenant Hayes sent the
disk home to his family and was unfortunately killed before Christmas.   My
question:  What do we know about David Southwood.  Did he survive, and did
he go back to the BBC after the war?  Is he by any chance still alive?

Thanks,

Ron L'Herault
