Would he be John Edward Coates?


Cheers

I would be very interested to know exactly what the naming on the rim of the MM says please? ie full number, rank, name and unit which should be impressed. I have not come across him in any of the honours and awards to Recce which I have studied. I wonder if Recce Mitch has found him??

 

Clive haven't found him yet

Cheers
Paul
