Lt S J L Hardie 6th A&SH's & MGC

[Raster Scanning]

I am interested to find out anything at all about this man. I see from the medal rolls he was MG Officer and later transferred to MGC.

Anyone seen him mentioned anywhere? Has anyone got the 6th Battalion War Diary.

I would much appreciate any information that may be out there.

Thanks
