Hi Geoff
Research has been frustrating at times. I had his medals replaced a couple of years ago but they would not supply the Dieppe clasp. He had told my mother he was there but officially the 8th Recce were not. But in the war diary it states four officers and four other ranks were in fact there with two of the officers being wounded. Of course it names the officers but not the other ranks. The 8th Recce did liberate Dieppe in 1944 and I asked my mother if this is what he referred to but she states it was the raid in 1942. Also have a pic of troops getting on a destroyer after raid with him supposedly in it but not really clear enough for positive ID.
I do have some original pics, some with carriers,motorbikes,tanks etc. Any interest I can post some. Brian
