Letter: Letters : Stretcher case

Published 7 February 1998

From Richard Blood

London

In answer to John Rogers’s request
(Letters, 17 January, p 53), I suspect he
and I may be the victims of an urban myth. An elderly acquaintance with the same
surname as me claimed to have been in an RAF stretcher party during the Second
World War. The other three members were Butcher, Gore and De’Ath.
