I have had the following request from the son of Mr Thomas Richard Feather. His request is to find out his fathers Regimental information as all had been lost or destroyed.
He Served in the Second World War with RWF, 1939 to 1945. Any one that can advise me I would be most Gratfull for any help.

Many Thanks.
Jim Williams.

Found a reference in The Red Dragon Jim. To summarise; On the 29th Nov 1944. Sgt Feather of the 7th Battalion received his MM from Field Marshall Montgomery?

Full details: 4194527 LCpl TR Feather. The rank is an anomaly, two mentions of the man, but two different ranks listed.

On Ancestry he is listed as a LCPL. The award was published on the 19th Oct 1944.
