Alex Bateman

Alex Bateman, a war historian and former employee of Harrow School, is accused of forging a Christmas card in order to steal a logbook from the widow of a World War II hero.

Doris Fraser's late husband, Flight Sergeant John Fraser, was captured during the Dam Busters mission in 1943. A court heard how his widow handed over a logbook worth £10,000 to Bateman.
