Although it mentions his "war service" it seems - oddly enough - to be largely skipped over and pretty much ignored in the transcript so it's next to impossible - currently - to tell if they are both the same individual.

If there is a photo of him - it might - perhaps be possible to compare it to the AFPU's "Roy Parkinson".
