    Moved your post from Royal Fusiliers (London Regiment) so that it gets individual attention.

    For record

    Aged 27

    War diary held at National Archives Kew goes up to June 1941 - presumably after which it was converted to a Recce unit - but something might be mentioned in earlier entries, eg if he was involved in an accident.
