He was in the 6th Commando Dorsetshire Regiment.
I have his service number and also the article in the Gazette in 1946 as he was awarded the Military Medal.
His nickname was Inky.
I need his death certificate but have no idea of the date of his birth but the year was 1919.
I have his marriage certificate to my mum in 1944.
He lived in Montepellier Vale, Blackheath, London.
Thank you so much.

Many, many thanks for this.
It's hard to say as I don't have his day and month of birth.
But I have his Army number.
And it matches on these searches.
And this is the only photo I have.
Another thin g I have is the year of his birth being 1919.

I believe that it is the Leonard William Penn that you are looking for. I couldn't find a birth for Leonard W. PENN in 1919
This is the information you will need to obtain a death certificate ordered from:

Once again, thank you.
Guy, on the marriage certificate it is dated 15th day of May, 1944 and he is down as being age 25.
I am so confused now.
