So I am very grateful for the photos, to put faces to the names he mentions.
His name was C/Sgt Norman Leach and he was friends with Tansy Lee and Bill Thoday(?).
The photo of SNCOs has a name missing from the top row as my dad is 5th from the left. Also I am not sure that Sgts Lee and Thoday are in the right order, as I vaguely remember meeting Tansy in the 1950s. I also remember the Xmas cards we used to get.
I would be interested to know if anyone out there has any anecdotes or stories about my dad, or if I can help anyone else in any way.]]>
