Hi Carol

Made a note of that, so will try on Monday, if we dont get snowed in lol.

A big piece of info I found late last nite
New war records show a L E Smith, serving in Asia ( service in Java & Sumatra) Medal awarded 17.12.51 and there is a permanent address on the record for Gloucester woo hoo, at long last, it does state he was born in Sheffield abt 1925 and died in 2005, it gives full address if you want to search, as not sure if the C/O R.E.G Smith is a military term, or if someone at that address has claimed his military records??? Can you shed some light please Carol, im still doing this with L Plates lol. Thanx for all your help, it is appreciated ;-)
