Hello Adrian

Many thanks for the information, very much appreciated.
I hope to ascertain the Christian names at some point. I don't think I will have much luck with the UK archives. I will wait and see what info turns up when the medals arrive .

Thanks again

Best regards

Dave......

Ps ..the QSA on the far right is to the 57 year old Trooper Ohlson.SALH.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Best regards,
Dave
