X Hi JimMany thanks for your very prompt reply; I wasn'texpecting others to be also working away on thisEaster weekend! Anyway, I fully understand theposition with the frame etc. The materials you dosuggest sound as though they (or some of them)will be of use in the book and i'd very muchappreciate having electronic copies of them whenyou have a few minutes. The details we have so farin the book's draft entry on Cleaver are pasted inbelow for your own information. I think itsreasonable as it stands (certainly in comparisonto some other entries), but I would like to beable to develop it a little more - especiallysince Cleaver is 'known'.With my best wishesRogerRoger Willoughby, PhDPO Box 278,WallingfordOX10 1AUT: 01491-82597416,779: PC Alfred Charles Cleaver: Bronze medalPSgt William Capper: Bronze medalDetails: AR 1933; MB(7) - 31 January 1933: 'On 3rdDecember 1932, Mrs M (50), Annie (23), Dennis (5),Doris (10), William (15), Laurence (17) and HildaBailey (8) and Mrs A Mitchell (42), were savedfrom a fire at 15 Trinity Street, Chester, causedby a defective fire grate'. Cleaver also receivedthe KPM and further details on this and theevents are to be found in the National Archives(file HO45/19479) and the London Gazette (1January 1934), thus: 'Shortly after 6 am on 3December 1932 a fire broke out in the front groundfloor room of a house in Trinity Street, Chester.Constable Cleaver was told of the fire, and onentering the house through the flames, found twowomen in the back room.
