    You've probably checked that there's no Barstow in the Bn roll in Thirty Days to Dunkirk - which makes sense if he'd been attached to the staff.

    There is a Capt J M O Barstow with A Coy 1 R IR F in Tunisia who was blinded during a local counterattack on 18 Jan 1943.

    Barstow HSP is mentioned as a temporary CO around Jan 1950, but it wasn't clear that he was 'one of their own'. Now we have a choice!

    What exactly was his correct job title ?

    Advanced Headquarters Officer ?

    He seems to have 'been sent to' a lot.
