Hi Pat

You forgot to mention his name, which I am guessing is Frederick Green

He left the RWF on 25th February 1946.

Hopefully someone will be able to help further.

My father would be well into his eightes so its a long time ago.I so wish he had spoken of his time in time in the r w f but he never did.I'm so grateful to my father and all the other soldiers who lost their lives for us to be free. I can't thank you enough. God bless them all.

Hi Pat 502 Is the photo a single shot of your father or as a platoon, Somme 1938 ?? as I have just received a photo of my father who joined the RWF in 1938 . also in Wrexham barracks and the photo was also taken by Algenion Smith ( possibly the btn photographer! ) Is it possible you could put the photo on the forum just might be a coinsidence.

Hi Roberts 7017 the photograph is on page 6 of the pre 1950's it was a group snap taken about 1938 hope this helps us both. It is going back a long time though.
