hello Christine,

Have just seen a very interesting message from Janine and also Mark but allthough I wrote a reply commenting on the fatal accident involving my half sister I see that it hasn´t been published although I thought I had filled in the message reply box correctly. Janine is the niece of two of the victims of the hand grenade and I would love to make a connection with her. Can you help?

Hello Janine, I ansered your post but it must have got lost as it didnt come up. Hopefully this will come up and you will see it. I have always wanted to know more about what happened that fateful day and it is only recently I was able to read a press cutting reporting the inquest and learnt more details. Patsy the little girl was my half sister and had just had her 5th birthday a couple of months before. She also had a twin brother. Their father had been killed in Egypt two years before......Are you auntie and uncle still alive? I would like to hear all they ever told you about that fateful day. Thanks a lot for your post..

Hi Christine,

Nice to see you back on the site - we thought we'd lost you with the unfortunate situation on the old guestbook! I know you had requested to be put in touch with me last year - sadly I was abroad and the message got lost amongst a lot of junk mail - sorry about that!

If you send Christine an e-mail (her address is on the main home page at the bottom), I'm sure she has Janine's e-mail address and can put you in touch.

If you ask her to put us in contact, too, I located Patsy's grave and would love to talk to you further about that.

Your e-mail address is mandatory in order to post a message or a reply, but it will be hidden from the page. It will never be used for any purpose other than to possibly contact you if you get an answer to a query you posted.

Because we have had a problem with advertisements being placed here, we have switched the security to a Folkestone question and answer. If you want to make a legitimate post here, but don't know the answer to the question, please e-mail me at folkestonethenandnow@gmail.com explaining a little of why you are posting, and I will give you the answer. Hint: it is one word, all in lower case letters.

ATTENTION: It appears you can only post to this guestbook if you are on a desktop computer. I have tested it with both an Ipad and a desktop, and it will only post from the latter. I will look for a more inclusive guestbook, but in the meantime, please accept my apologies.
