Asking readers to help solve a mystery

DEAR EDITOR:

I am trying to trace any relative of the late Margaret Sinclair who died April 8, 2013. She had two daughters, Donna Pelech and Carol Peter. There were also grandchildren, Kathryn, Daniel and David Pelech.

We have two letters sent to my wife’s mother in 1938 from James Duncan Smith who was Margaret’s brother, and he refers to my mother in law as “Auntie Jeannie.” James (Jim) was tragically killed in action in North Africa on April 14, 1941 and is buried in Knightsbridge Cemetery west of Tobruk. These two letters have always fascinated us and it is only recently we have managed to identify who sent them.

We would be delighted if the letters could be returned to the family as they may be a link to the distant past.
