There was an omission in the fine paper 'Seabirds on Lundy' (Brit. Birds 104: 139-158) when describing the fortunes of the former Northern Gannet Morus bassanus colony on the island. In 1938, the then owner of the island, Martin Coles Harman, sought the co-operation of R. M. Lockley, then resident on Skokholm, to obtain Gannet eggs from Grassholm. Grassholm had been purchased in 1937 by Harman for his son John, who was killed in April 1944 during the siege of Kohima, Nagaland, India, his actions resulting in the posthumous award of the Victoria Cross.
