Definitely him
I have been researching this Iceland posting.I checked his Discharge paper and no Iceland noted.But I do know that the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division was posted to Iceland , landing there on May 10,1940.I know he sailed to the UK in January 1940 on the second wave of 1st Div troops.The force sent to Iceland were under Brigadier Page but were recalled.My questions are:
1)Was he detached from his unit to support this force.
I then contacted my brother the Captain(RCAF retarded-oops retired),and asked him if dad was ever in Iceland and I quote:" Dad mentioned to me that he was there for a few months and all he said was that it was desolate and miserable"
