Henry Loudon
Number five, top row , is my Grandfather Henry Loudon. Also confirmed by my Mum.Amazed to find this as, apart from knowing where he served, we had very little information on his particular unit. Just new that he was a very proud Royal Marine. He lived in Alva, Scotland and passed away in 1984.

1. James Casbolt & 465. Albert Bacon
Hello, I know my distant relative Philip Bacon has identified these people already. Sjt James R. Casbolt was my grandfather's cousin and Pte Albert W. Bacon was James' brother-in-law.
I wondered if there was anybody within this community who actually remembered my granddad's cousin and his brother-in-law. There were known to my family as Uncle Jim and Uncle Bert and while I know Jim went to Norway and they both went to Burma that's about it.
I am new to this society and only starting to learn the bravery of these men but if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated as I never met my dear Great-Uncle Jim neither Uncle Bert and would love to know more.
Kind Regards
