    Rob,
    He's 2nd Bn yes but that was in 1937!!!
    Doesn't mean he didn't get posted to 1st Bn afterwards.
    Jonny already said,
    I have just come accross a letter saying that at the outbreak of war he was CSM of D company 1st Battalion Royal Fusiliers.


    Glad that link lead to a good result.

    I see from the list he is down as 2nd Battalion RF. not 1st. So that now puts him here then;
    Rob


    1939 Dover - B.E.F. FRANCE & BELGIUM <o>:p</o>:p
    1940 May LA PANNE - DUNKIRK - ENGLAND <o>:p></o>:p>
    1943 March NORTH AFRICA <o>:p></o>:p>
    1944 EGYPT <o>:p></o>:p>
    May - June MONTE CASSINO, ITALY <o>:p></o>:p>
    1946 December 13th. Greece

    If he was in either surely he would have got the Italy star as both 1st and 2nd were at Monte Cassino but he didnt he got France Germany Medal !!! Im sending of for his records hopefully this week and waiting for a couple of other leads to come back, thanks everybody for their help.:D:D:D
