As we are all aware the late Jack Roberts had some very good pigeons and that could not have been confirmed in a better way than a letter that Jack received in 1942. The letter was from his father who was serving in the war; Jack had supplied pigeons for the Western Command Pigeon service. These pigeons had served our heroes well and more were required and as with everything he ever did Jack only ever supplied the best. Jack's father went on to say that it was a pity he had not taken an earlier active part in the birds so did not know the type of birds that they required. However the very knowledgeable Jack did and also gave the advice about pairing the birds for the future. There are many fanciers who had pigeons from Jack over the years that proved very successful. A pigeon fancier gone who spent his life devoted to his wife, family and pigeons.
