In 1969 my friend Nick Martin, who lived in Hawkhurst, and I, hitch-hiked across to the Taj Mahal in India. Sadly I have lost touch with Nick and I wonder whether any of your contributors may be able to help us get back in contact again. John Hague

On this 70th Anniversary of V E day, I remember going to the Victoria Hall with my family, friends and neighbours for a lively celebration. This was my first introduction to the Hokey Cokey, Knees up Mother Brown and the Palais Glide which young and old participated in with great enjoyment. Pauline Sims nee Bird
I just wondered if anyone remembers any of the Johnson family from Hawkhurst, Benjamin Johnson had the Blacksmiths which is now the Garage and Albert Charles Johnson also worked there. He moved to Cranbrook in later life to live with his daughter, Alice. There were a few other brother's and sisters too. Any information is welcomed From Laurella
