Coldstreamer Posted 14 May , 2006 Share Posted 14 May , 2006 Hello I ll let you off then! Your best bet is if you know where he lived is to search local papers - after that the war diary (at the NA) His address you could possibly get from his papers if they are available at the NA - Ive had a quick look but couldnt see him listed Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
