To the Editor of-the "Norra-Cumva Dany News"
Sm.—In your issue of August 12 under "Hell Schickelgruber" mention is made of Mr. Winston Churchill's change of name, In connection you made the following statement. "We are told that the correct form Winston Chill but - Winston of the Prime Minister's name is not
-Churchill with a. hyphen."
inclusion or otherwise of a hyphen to one's name may not be of much interest to many of your readers but, I am sure, a great many of your readers will be interested to know that a very near relative of the Prime Minister is buried in the old English cemetery in Macao. The inscription on the tombstone reads as follows;—
Sacred to the memory of the Riomr HONOURABLE s, departed this life Roads, 2nd June 1840.
The Druid, carrying 44 guns. was the largest warship in these waters at that time. She came out to the Far East in the early 40's and reached Macao on March 24. 1840.
From the above you will note the hyphen is omitted, Shanghai. Aug. 13.
