In 1988 a sharp-eyed nine-year old boy found a 1lb glass jar sticking out of the cliffs at
East Mersea.   He handed the jar to Dougal Urquart, Ranger at Cudmore Grove.

The jar contained a faded envelope with a letter from a First World War pilot to his
faithful fox terrier Mick. They turned out to be from the dog’s gravestone that used to be
in the bluebell wood on the cliff at Cudmore Grove, East Mersea.

These unique beach finds have been spun into a story
involving two boys, a dog and a World War I pilot.
