I am extremely touched and gratefull to my friend Roger who visited on my behalf on 19th of June 2008, and for bringing back so many photographs and information on your beautiful and well looked after memorial.

So much so, that I have decided to visit next year as I am now 65 years
old 66 next year and will probably not get the opportunity to pay my respects to my fathers grave again.

My son has also decided he would like to visit, so it will be a very great honour for us to to visit Korea and your beatiful memorial.

I understand from my friend Roger that you would like to have a photograph of my father, this I will be only to happy to provide, is there any information that you would like me to send you by email as well?

When I have decided what photo's are appropriate I will scan them into my PC and send by email, with any information you request that will help.

I was only 10 years old when my father died, and my mother Sarah his wife, never re married, unfortunaetly she passed away last year 2007 on the 13th of Sept. She would have been very proud to have seen the photo's and medal you sent.

Roger was extremely moved by his visit and the fact that he new me made it more touching.

Please e mail me at iglynnbaker@btconnect.com to let me know what information you would like.

Many thanks to all the Korean people who look after the memorial and also for the wonderfull way it is managed and kept.

Best wishes

Ian Glynn-Baker

Son of DG Baker
