Francis John Milward & Rosemary Gwendoline Milward GM trip to Zermatt

"I have recently come across this information in one of our famnily archives concerning one of my grandfather's Bentleys!

I thought it would be useful to add to the archive, it is interesting reading, will need to be high resolution though! I will keep looking for more, I sent you the early pictures and the Receipt for the purchase of this car already.

It details their trip in it to Zermatt (Switzerland) in 1936 via France and Italy!"
