Pete wrote:Hi and thanks for providing the photo of your Grandfather which I will add to the gallery. On the flag your grandfather gives his address as a police station at Fakenham. This is likely to indicate that he was one of the Police Officers who volunteered for commando service in 1942 as part of the Police Intakes to the Commando Basic Training Centre, Achnacarry. I am in the process of adding these Police Officers to the main archive and to date have over 300. I would like to add your grandfather's name if this is the case. Was he by any chance Leonard George Bryer son of Arthur who was also in the Police? If you have any other details such as his dates and places of birth and death, service number, details of police service, please let me know here or you can contact me by email below. I need to place a credit for any photos so could you also leave your full name. Many thanks.
Pete
