In Dear Grandchildren here we write about our grandfather, Edward Cecil Malet-Warden (1887-1964), his natural father Col. Edward Malet deCarteret, Seigneur of St. Ouen, Jersey, his mother well known actress Annie Husband. Annie was either a cousin or niece of Sir Henry Royce of Rolls Royce. Annie Husband married Arthur Warden who as a Naval Commander won the Albert Medal in 1916.
Edward Cecil’s first married Agnes Pennycuick, they had four children; our Mother Elizabeth (Hickey), Charles Malet -Warden, Bryda (Woodruff), and Hamish Malet-Warden. Edward later married Karita Maria daughter of Admiral Cezar Bielich, Peruvian Navy and they had three children; Teddy Malet-Warden living in Australia, Tracy Malet-Warden and Wendy (Cairns) both living in England..
We include a large collection of photographs, copies of letters and records.

Sergeant/Pilot John Hamish Malet-Warden was killed in action on 17 August 1941 and is named on the Pennycuick family grave in Challoch (All Saints) Churchyard near Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway but not on any local War Memorials. However sometimes after 2007 his name was added to the Sorbie Parish War Memorial in Garlieston, Wigtownshire. Do you know why and by whom?
Good day.
I have done a lot of search after the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, taht crashed August 17, 1941 at Buggenum, the Netherlands. John Hamish Malet-Warden was one of the 5 crewmembers.
My father witnessed the crash and in 1969 we found some remains from the aircraft. After a long search, I’ve found relatives of Arthur Brown, another crewmeber from the Z6754. I’ve given them the remains of the aircraft and they were in the Netherlands last year to participate in Commemorations of the Liberation of the southern part of the Netherlands. I couldn’t find information about the other crewmembers, but now I found by coincidence this site. Is there a possibility to contact relatives (if they’re interested) from John Hamish, to tell them the story from the crash and further and the search for relatives?

Dear Leon, I read your very interesting comment on Hamish’s plane crash. Hamish was my uncle and my son and I went out to visit his grave last year and we have some tulips planted at home in his memory. Best regards, Eoin.
