Morning George joined the Royal Marines on Tuesday 26 January 1943 and served in the Naval establishment near Cape Town responsible for the shipping movements in the area.

The accident also killed Marines PO/X 110797 Albert Frederick Brackley, PO/X 110666 Leslie Thomas Glass and CH/X 113169 Cyril George Maynard. Regards, Graeme

We just had this from a Guest to the forum. We have no contact details to get back to them. Maybe if Betty reads this she could sign up for the forum. Thanks for supplying this info Betty.
Morning, Thanks for posting Owen, If Betty does get back for a 'look see', Please make contact. In my research I had access to his Police record and have the photographs from the record, one from his application to join the Birmingham City Police and one in his uniform. I would dearly love to pass these on to you, Regards, Graeme
Owen, In regard to the above, West Midlands Police Museum would dearly like to get in touch with Betty. She only made one appearance. Is it possible from your records to make contact at all or is this a no-no?? Regards, Graeme
