Sir??

Seriously, though, I'll take a look in some of the correspondence files I've got.

Regards

Tom

Hmm,

They were still very formal back in the 60's and 70's. Lot's of 'Dear Molony' and 'Dear Brigadier', and a couple of 'Sirs'. The most informal header I have found so far is this one from a letter by Ronald Lewin - sorry it doesn't help much, but I will keep looking.

If I find anything more useful, I will post up here.

Maddening isn't it? I only asked because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o ... _World_War doesn't have his first name. ;O)
