Some friends who came to visit us over the weekend told us an interesting story about an incident in Lavenham.
They dropped into the Airmen's Bar at the Swan Hotel for a quick drink recently and encountered an elderly gentleman from the U.S. who was a veteran of the assault on Pearl Harbour in December 1941.
The visitor was invited to add his signature to the many names of U.S. servicemen already on the walls of the bar, and he obliged as can be seen from the picture to the left. This was snapped by our friend shortly after it was inscribed.
Apparently the guest from the U.S, was very sprightly for his age (he must have been well over 90!), and had some interesting tales to tell.
Information about the signatures at the Airmen's Bar can be found on the American Air Museum in Britain website by clicking HERE
