Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 123 Postscript 2005 In April 2005, my wife and I , with a number of friends and business associates, traveled to Cardiff Wales where a new Future Inns U K hotel had been opened. On April 30th, on behalf of the Brett Group of Companies and Future Inns UK , and with the blessings of Bomber Command, THE HOLDER ROOM was dedicated in the memory of F/O Alfred Samuel Holder, DFC, of Miserden, Gloustershire. The evening was a culmination and a completion. The dedication of the plaque and room were a fitting tribute to one of the last aircrew members in Bomber Command to give his life. I also saw the events as a tribute to all Air Crews, their service and their sacrifice. To have the two Holder nephews (now men of 70 and 63) and their wives present made the evening even more special, and when I obtained a picture of the boys from the 1945 (see next page), my 60 year search had closure.
