I would like to get in touch with Wilfred Paul Diacono, who in 1970 lived in Cricklewood, ­London, or any of his relatives.

This is connection with Mr Diacono’s cousin, Harry (a.k.a. Hendricus) Farrugia, a commercial artist who was very active in illustrating British children’s comics during the 1950s and 1960s, right up to his tragic death in August 1970.

I am assisting an English friend who is researching the career of Mr Farrugia as a comics artist. He has established that Mr Farrugia originally came from Port Said, Egypt, where he was born in 1919. He moved to the UK in 1946 and at the time of his death lived in West Moors, Dorset.

Any information which Mr Diacono or any of his relatives are able to provide in this respect would be most appreciated. I can be reached by phone on 2143 2408; by mail at 164 Eucharistic Congress Road, Mosta, MST 9037; or by e-mail at alexvella@yahoo.com.
