    Hi Maggie, Harry Rogal is my great-uncle. I am Ian South's son, and Ian is Chris and Vera's (Bertha's) son. I've been collecting information about him, which I've put together here.

    Cpl Harry Rogal, 6898415, my great uncle. 15th Scottish Reconnaissance Regiment

    Hope that's of some use.
