Wayne Saillard Posted 20 November , 2007 Share Posted 20 November , 2007 Dear Friends, I hope someone may be in a position to shed a bit of light on the above serviceman. My interest stems from having been given his Great War trio and a genuine desire to learn something about him in order to commemorate his service. From a quick search on the CWGC website, it would appear that he survived the war. Thanks & regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Saillard Posted 20 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2007 Hello Coldsteamer and Adrian ! Many thanks for your prompt assistance. This has, at least, given me a good idea of his background. Any further information anyone can provide, which can enhance the above, would be greatly appreciated - especially if service related. Thanks & regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Saillard Posted 21 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2007 Can anyone please advise if his service records still exist ? If they do, is there someone willing to send me a summery of the information ? Thanks & regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
