Hi WW2talk. My Grand-Uncle, Hedley Alexander Hyman Was in the Buffs, 5th battalion. Service no. 6288881. From this number, I thought at first that he was in France, but I didn't see him on rolls from 1940. Perhaps he enlisted after the BEF came home, prior to Torch. If anyone has any way of finding out? I live in ireland so I don't have easy access to records. Hedley died on Dec. 21, 1942. We don't have any more details, only that he is listed on the Medjez memorial. Any info to fill out the details of this young man's life would be precious. He married in 1939, at 19. I thought maybe he enlisted after that. Thank you in advance Kerry
