Dear Phil You were most helpful a couple of years ago when you directed me to a photo on this site of a group of boys in your final year at Dennis Road School. I was trying to trace Graham Stringer through his son Terry who was in the photo. I have since had a new computer and regretably did...

Phil, a couple of years ago now I was enquiring about the Stringer Brothers and you were kind enough to give me a link to a photo of them, along with other boys from the same year, which was on this site. Since then I have changed my computer and lost the photo. Also, I understand that there...

Thanks Phil for the very interesting photo - very useful indeed. Pats

Thanks Phil for all of your help and your very quick response. Pats

Thanks once again Phil. I am still on the Graham Stringer trail and trying to make contact with him, or his cousin Terry. From the sketch map drawn your friend in Holland it seems he lived six houses from the Stringer home. I wonder if he knows where the Stringer boys are now. Pats

Thanks for your help Phil - the photo of Graham Stringer's son was very interesting. I enjoyed reading the postings about Dennis Road School - like you I went through the secondary modern school system and have academically achieved a great deal since then. My research is reaching a very...

I am trying to find out information about the Stringer family who lived at 2 Clevedon Road, Balsall Heath, in the 1940s. My father was a Japanese POW during WW2 and his close friend was Graham Stringer. Any help would be much appreciated.
