Hi mate, Thanks alot for the scans. It is a bit of a shame not to be able to see his face? or get a firm ID on which one is him. Are there any other pictures in the RB history you have which i coukd have a look at? Cheers mate, Donnie
Nope, I searched all the RB journals I have and there are no other photos that feature him. I only have up to 1946, so he may feature in some later ones.
Thanks mate, I shall now search for someone with the Journals from 1946 onwards. I cannot thankyou enough. Donnie
Hi Owen, I will see if i can contact his family but seeing as it was his family that got rid of the uniform in the first place i dont think anyone will want it......... Also i will contact the RGJ Museum to see what they have to say, Donnie Donnie - People clear stuff out all the time, so don't read too much into it. I think his ancestors would be thrilled that someone like yourself is interested in his past and has brought him back to life so to speak. Keep trying to track the family down. Cheers - Robert
