    Hello Jerome

    The following link has another photo of Julian Marryshow . . . http://www.cavehill.uwi.edu/BNCCde/grenada/conference/papers/Steele.html

    It appears in an article about Grenada’s role in WWII and shows Julian in his Spitfire. It looks like a close-up of the photo referred to as the sepia one above.

    Kind regards,
