HC Deb 22 May 1941 vol 371 c1585
58. Mr. Thorne

asked the Postmaster- General whether he can give any information about a man named Mr. English, who was working at a London sorting office along with three others, when a bomb hit the office, where he then helped to salvage mails with a hurricane lamp?

Mr. Chapman

Mr. English is a temporary sorter and along with other sorters on duty rendered excellent service on the night of the 10th–11th May, when during a severe air raid the building in which he was working was struck by a bomb.

Mr. Thorne

Is any recommendation coming from the Post Office about this particular man?

Mr. Chapman

My hon. Friend may rest assured that the services of this officer and all other officers concerned have been brought to the notice of my right hon. Friend.
