WITH reference to the letters from British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association BLESMA.
My mother was Dorrie Horne, who founded the Dinky Dots concert party and gave concerts, all over the area, for over 40 years. The annual BLESMA concert at the Grand Theatre, Bolton, was arranged by my mother and Mr Dwyer, who was the local BLESMA man.
If Mr J W Church of blesma will check the blesma records, he will find that there was a Dinky Dot-endowed bed at the BLESMA home just outside Blackpool, and up to recently I had the framed certificate given to my mother at the endowment ceremony which was photographed by and appeared in the Evening News at the time.
