Thank you so much for posting the Recce citations - I think Sgt Kirman's page one is missing - the post showed the first page of 4273771 Sgt John Walker? Any chance you have the page one for Kirman and page two for walker?? Thanks so much.

 

Have fixed entry for Sgt Kirman, 15 Recce. There is no page 2 for Sgt Walker, 3 Recce. I have found that while some entries have a page 2, albeit with no further details, a lot of entries don't have a page 2 although it does usually say PTO.

Cheers
Paul
