soft bump,
Don’t know why the title shows 1040, it shows 1940 if I try and edit it :confused:

Mike and Andy beat me to it yesterday.
Many paid the ultimate price, but for the Woods-Scawen family fate dealt an even more terrible and cruel blow. Son’s and Brothers lost on consecutive days.
As if that were not enough, Philip and Kathleen had to wait until Patrick’s body was found on the 6th of September before their nightmare could become real.
