    My name is Julie Fielke and Sydney Percival Martin is my Great Uncle. My Grandfather James Royal Martin was his brother.
    I was close with my grandfather and he shared memories of his brother with me. I would be grateful for any further information or photographs of my uncle. Kind Regards Julie Fielke.
