Sad news indeed Stéphane. Thanks for posting the information. I believe Derrick became a senior police officer post war. Are you able to ask his daughter Linda to contact me by email when she has time so as I can place some accurate detail in our gallery as a tribute to her Father.

Rest in peace Derrick.
