As I work as a Volunteer Room Steward at Chartwell and was working there today I have passed this on to the NT House Team. I spoke with one of them also this PM and they said they have many unidentified items in store and this may be one of them as it sounded a little familiar.
Does anyone have a description, or better, a picture of this item they could share? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Riddle Biggin Hill, Westerham Kent e-Mail: dpreey...@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > On 21 Mar 2016, at 22:22, Terry Reardon <reard...@rogers.com> wrote: > > > <-104539234611A3521.png> > Re: [ChurchillChat] Where is the "Victory Torch"? > VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL > This album has 2 photos and will be available on OneDrive until 19/06/2016. > <-5239105854F3DA154.png> > Hi Samuel. > > Hello Samuel. > > I have a photograph, somewhere in my archives, of Ian Mackenzie the Minister > of Pensions and National Health presenting the Torch to Winston Churchill – > in the background is Canada’s High Commissioner, Vincent Massey.
