Hi Geoff
I sent for his service records but all they mention is he received the MID. The number RO 5489 is after it (dont know what that stands for) maybe all numbered; also the date entered is 17feb/45. I remember that it was for action at Falaise. He was wounded on 8aug/44 maybe on that day? Some citations were in the 8th Recce war diaries but seemed to be hit or miss what was in there.
Have been in contact with some of the fellows he served with in the 8th recce. The one fellow I talked on the phone with couldnt help with that but I heard some priceless stories. It was really great hearing stories from someone who was there. I believe I found them from a link to this site and for that I am thankful.
Thx Brian
