Hi all, I'm trying to find out any information about my Grandfather, Patrick Spiers, his service number was: 6289308 and he served in the 5th Battalion Buffs. I believe he was stationed at HMS Daedalus. He could have been known as 'Paddy'. Any information would be really gratefully received. Many thanks, Rachael
