Typewritten letter sent by the Imperial War Graves Commission to Miss M. Davidson of 37 Canterbury Street, South Shields, dated 25 March 1958. The letter is in reply to Miss Davidson's letter of 21 March. It is stated (inaccurately) that Lance Corporal James Davidson is commemorated on the Dunkirk Memorial. The author goes on to say that photographs of the Memorial and name panels can be obtained from the British Legion in London. The letter is associated with Lance Corporal James Davidson of South Shields, brother of the letter's recipient, whose name is in fact included on the Rangoon Memorial.
