Hi,

Trying to see what service James had. Nothing on Ancestry other than the link to Fold 3's records. He is seated far right.

I think there is/was a Seldom Inn around Aldershot, which would tie in with the picture?

Any help would be much appreciated.

GWF has pretty much given you all the details. I note he is down as 2 ASD (2 Aeroplane Supply Depot).

There are threads on this forum mentioning that unit in France. eg here
