Thanks Paul
I went on the sites you posted. Lots of info.
My friend is on a job out of town and I am afraid I will be doing most of his research for him.No problem though.We have been friends for 30+ years.
The only info we have to go on is his fathers pay book, which has not been located yet!!!It sure would help! Full name,rank,serial number.
I believe IMOP he was in the second Burma expedition as I did not find his name on the first expedition,through sites I went on, I could be in error though.
Anyhow , if there are any of Chindits out there reading this that remember a comrade named Hopson please contact me.
