looking for information as to what happened to Fusilier J Nimmon Service number 1500958 reported missing with my father on 25th Sept 1944 in NWE 6th Battalion RWF.
I have checked on CWGC and no records are shown.
Hope this is correct place for this.

Further to this Nimmo was also one of the 2nd Independent Company guys fighting in Norway in May 1940. A note mentions he was committed to hospital at Fauske, Norway. !! Not sure how he was repatriated.
