| Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Tom Maddocks Bullamore Appleby French Test Reports ORIGINAL 6GII 32 HOTEL LESDIGUIÈRES. 198 COURS JEAN JAURÈS. GRENOBLE. ISÈRE. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 6GII June 8. 1922 Y4086 We left Lionel on Monday the 5th June. Appleby left for Derby on the Sunday night as he was tired of the job so I let him go, therefore I have now only Maddocks and Bullamore. Bullamore is wanting to go home as soon as possible but I think Maddocks will stay on a while yet. I think you should have other men in view to send out and I will let you know when to send them. We can manage for the time being as we are working on the car, finding routes and accommodation. I think we have found the right accommodation now at the above address. It is a quiet sort of place about 2 kilometres outside Grenoble and has a nice hidden little garage. The mileage of the car since last report is as follows On June 5th 223 miles " 6th 208 " " 7th 67 " Total 498 Previous mileage 11184 Total since leaving Derby 11682 | ||
