leigh kitchen Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Still missing.......& Private Willis later goes missing himself, but presumably survived the war as I can't find him listed in Soldiers Died or on the CWGC site.

leigh kitchen Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Excellent medals and research. I have two researched groups to SAAF mechanics. DocThe research came with the 2 medals, so no hard work by me, but there's more to find out no doubt.8th Lincs War Diary should be worthwhile, fortunately there is fair bit of research already done on the 2 SAI Tedder as I have no knowledge of SA records.
