| 400g Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} D/L12/G5-6-40. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/ML3-6-40. CORNICHE BENTLEY. We have noted the letter from the R.A.C., but as no Company has ever received any premium to cover the body against War Risks there is no Company to whom we can apply to make good our loss. The position is just the same as if the enemy dropped a bomb on your house, except that the body was not even in this country. D/L. | ||
