My suggestion is that you contact the Royal British Legion at British Legion Hall, which was in Victoria Grove, Bridport, and one number I found which may give you a lead is 01308 420804. I am however having terrible difficulty in finding any contact address/number for the Legion there! It may be just a small branch. They would surely know of the gentleman if he was a member, and may have his service number on file (required to join I gather from my dad).

Hi david .

My other grandad ( on my father' side) is a secretary / member of the Lyme Regis British Legion (about 10 miles from Bridport) and he is going to ask someone he knows if they can find out any info for me.
When he gets some news i will let you know.
