His appointed rounds
Alec Ross, despatch rider in the Long Range Desert Group - Popski's Private Army, to be specific, misplaced a bag of personal letters and photos in the Egyptian desert. Just as well. It turns out Ross had something to hide. His sister explains.
Mrs Porter, 75, of Burnley, said: "I was stunned when I found out about this and it is just incredible the way the bag has come to light. I will be so pleased when I can actually hold the letters in my hand and feel something my mother actually wrote to Alec all those years ago.
"I just wish the bag had been found a few years earlier so that Alec could have been reunited with its contents. He would have been thrilled, if a little embarrassed about having had two girlfriends on the go."
