Hello Comrades..

I have been to Haverfordwest.
We had a cup of tea and a chat with Mrs Alston..
Grahams mum.
I did pay my respects at my comrades last resting place..
Very poignant it was to..

I am very annoyed at the fact that Mrs Alston tells me she received none of Grahams personal things.
Now I KNOW he did have these things as I was the one that packed his gear after that very sad day..in 1973..

? who would I talk to..

? were did they go.....

? Any one have the answer..

Please Please help If you can..

Just a thought. Get the mother to apply for his service record. The kit document might be in there. Worth a go!
