It's really nice to know that he was well-known and liked by his men, as neither my mother (Richard's only child who can't remember Richard) has never had the opportunity to talk to anybody with whom he served. We did not give the DNA sample as it was taken by another part of the family who my mother has never met, so we did not receive the "full record jacket". We have since had some contact with the US army who have provided us with a very brief service record as we were informed that most of the record had gone missing. Any copy of the citations that you have got would be greatly appreciated, as I have the actual medals in my possession. Many thanks for your reply. Wayne
