(I will be adding to this post soon, but thought you might like this bit of background on his life in the meantime.)

    I wander if you could tell me more about your Grandfathers experiences in the desert or if he kept a journal My Grandfather on my (maternal side) whom I never met was R S Gwatkin-Williams, I have most of his original journals etc and I would like a different view point. Many thanks, Rupert Vernon-Smith. Email me at rupert888@aol.com.
