My father's name was Herbert CAPON and I am keen to find out more about this work. There was only a small group of mewn on this particular project and two were DUNCAN BRUCE (who was the leader of the project) and COULSON,Lt -Cmdr A. F. W. They were often known as the Kentucky Minbstrels, The Wheezers and Dodgers and the Mudlarks. I am very keen in getting in touch with any of his family, especially if some, or a little knowledge is known of their work within the DMWD, which was all hush-hush at the time. I look forward with extreme interest to any replying to this. Thanking you Janet Capon-Brown (mother of Shelley Thompson) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
