Terry wrote (Nov 2007): "Please find enclosed a pic of some of the items found during the refurbishment of a chapel in Cinderford.
The interesting cigarette packet was a laundry list. Sgt Galbraith No 1879866 was a member of the 129th Forestry Company Royal Engineers. They were billeted in the chapel before moving to a camp close to the Prisoner of War camp at Coleford. The list was for 1 shirt, 3 pairs of socks, 1 vest, 1 pants, and 1 towel. There is also an empty tin of boot polish. Amongst other items found was a dated 1941 newspaper, quite a few cigarette packets, a couple of small bells, a sermon from the 1930s and an Aero chocolate wrapper".
