Hi Stephen

Thanks for your reply to my photo.I would love to see the photo of your father in India. One of the Officers of his troop disapeared. In the war the only thing they found was his clothes on the beach. he left his estate to his Troop to set up buisness after the war I am afraid that I dont know his name. may be some one could shed some light on him and give us his name.

Regards from Doug
