    Dear Jack,

    I respectfully request to use your images of the WWII Memorial in Peterhead?

    Currently, I am preparing a post about an ancestor who died on D-Day

    Non-commercial and limited to a small audience

    Regards Peter

    Peter,
    Do use my photos by all means.
    I’m delighted you think they are good enough to be reproduced elsewhere.

    Best wishes,

    Jack
