Acknowledgements
‘Brumbys’ Farm’ has been modelled on Lincolnshire County Council’s Church Farm Museum, Skegness, and the locale of ‘Fleethaven Point’ now forms part of the Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, managed by the Lincolnshire Trust for Nature Conservation. My sincere thanks to Ruth Walker, Museum Assistant at Church Farm, for her interest and help in providing background information, and also to Carl Hawke, the Gibraltar Point Warden.
I acknowledge use of material regarding the First World War taken from the Skegness Herald dated Friday, August 7th, 1914, printed and published by the Proprietor Jas Morrill, MJI, at the Herald Press, 19 Lumley Road, Skegness; and also general information from later editions of the newspaper, then printed and published by C. H. Major & Co Ltd.
My very special thanks to my family and friends for their interest and encouragement, particularly those who helped me so much by reading the novel in the early stages – my sister and her husband, Robena and Fred Hill; Pauline Griggs; Linda and Terry Allaway; and my daughter, Zoë, who helped with the final draft.
M.D.
