Hi, james hall was a friend of my father in law. I have three war time photos and a newspaper cutting. You are welcome to them. I am in invercargill. phone 03 2156845
My father (now 94) served in the Western Desert with James. I have information which may be of interest.
My late father, James Oliver Hall, worked on this project - building the model of the caves in plaster of Paris.
I have some old photographs of the work in progress, if you are interested.
I am currently working on a book on him and his artistic achievements.
