Picture in the local rag from Rememberance Sunday shows a Ex RAF type wearing loads of WW2 Stars plus a DFC.
The paper reports him as 82 ,same age as my old man.
This makes him 12 at the start of the war and 17 when it finished.
My old man didnt join up until 1945,he was a VR and ended up in India.
He spoke to this chap last year and thought he was a bit sus and he wandered off when they got to talking about postings etc.
I've tried looking him up on the London Gazette but there is no record of him or getting an award.
Where do I look next?
He was in the local rag as Chairman of the RBL but they dont have a record of him either.
