I recently received a package from the Barnardo Homes in regard to my grandfather (Harry Jones) who was taken into the Barnardo Homes in 1910 and then sent to Canada in 1912.

In this package was an assortment of letters, and one of the letters talks about when my grandfather visited the Barnardo Homes office in December 1939.

To make a long story short, the letter states how the officers at Barnardos were quite pleased to see my grandfather. He was "the first Canadian in uniform to stop into the office". It goes on to say that they took a short "cinema strip" of the head of Barnardos greeting my grandfather in the office. Then, it continues to say that some of "these cinema strips were put together to show to our boys in the service".

My contact at the Barnardo Homes has heard of these cinema strips, but unfortunately does not know where they are (or even if they still exist.)

So, my question is----

Does ANYBODY know who I can contact? I would give anything to see a film of my grandfather, in uniform, in 1939. I'm stuck. I don't where to go from here. The BBC perhaps?

Any assistance or any scrap of info would be appreciated.

Thank you!
