I?m really having problems finding out anything about my Dad?s RMC service. I know he held the Kings Badge, saw active service in Malaya and the Sinai peninsula. He also spoke about being one of the youngest allied servicemen to witness the signing of the Japanese surrender. He was also Batman to Casper John, Admiral of the Fleet .At some time during 1950 onwards I believe he was a member of the SBS and was, I think, Sergeant/Instructor of small arms at Lympstone. Anyone who knew him or knew of him, I am desperate to fill in the many ?blanks? that he left behind.
