  • Remembering Kenneth Brian Marshall, a much loved Son and Brother, also an Uncle that our family never knew. His disappearance on the 20th of August 1944 over the sea out of Fiji affected the family deeply, our Dad lost a great friend and he recalled to me the exact moment the telegram arrived telling the family of the disappearance of the 2 planes that crashed into the sea.
