Hambo Posted 19 January , 2008 Share Posted 19 January , 2008 Has anyone come across this man? I have his MC citation and a few bits from the Gazette but no details of his unit or indeed his career in general. It seems he was with some sort of bomber unit according to the citation at least Any help gratefully received Thanks Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
