I have many photos.

I would love to meet anyone from his unit in the war. My grandad's name was Jim Buchan. He served in the HQ Battalion.
Cheers,
Aaron Potts | Hi Aaron,
I am sure the unit would be interested. I have not been on the Forum for some time and have recently been posted out. If you contact the unit on 07 33327782 and ask for SGT Gary Saunderson to contact you I am sure he can help.
Rgds
Tim
