    Thanks for sharing.

    His father was in detention 1940/45 under the Defence Regulations Act in light of his pre war political activities.

    Forum member Skip will be interested to see the photo as he has an interest in Special Forces casualties and we have discussed Capt Ramsay previously off forum.
