Thanks for that
I will make sure I put it on my winter jobs. This time of year we are a bit
busy to make sure I keep up with other forums but as my great uncle was in
the same unit it could be very interesting to find out more
It will also give me the time to put together what I have found out so far

cheers appreciated
