In helping with a house clearance for a late family member, we have come across a letter dated December 1918 from The County School Uxbridge, a rather lovely school photograph of Everard Henry Stephen Gomme and a commemorative plaque/ medal. We would like to make sure these items are returned to his family members. If you are related to Everard please contact the Nat West Archives office who will make contact with me.
