----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Henderson To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 12:17 AM Subject: MARTYN'S As a battlefield guide , I have, of course, been involved with the Remembrance events this November and the Whitehall Cenotaph as well. I have recently learned that my grandfather worked on the design, engineering and building of this in the 20s through MARTYN'S - a Cheltenham based engineering company. He was employed in the Cheltenham works first then transferred to North London for this work. I have e-mailed Martyn's in the hope of finding an archivist who might tell me more about my grandfather's work to no avail and also the PRO who have limited information. I now hope that someone on the list may know more about the Company or be able to tell me where to research next. Thank you. My grandfather was Samuel Henry Parker, who originated in Devon and then moved with his wife Lucy (formerly Condy / Cundy) to Cheltenham where my father Henry John (sometimes known as John Henry) Parker was born in 1904. Forgive me I do not reply immediately but will be working in Auschwitz until the 20th November. Again, thank you. Jackie Henderson formerly Parker
