Hello,
Re the possible existence of a son of Sjt Troman who may have served in the 6th Para Batt RWF. I will be phoning my old R.S.M. (Cliff Meredith)from the 2nd RWF from our time in Malaya, He served with the 6th Batt Para's RWF in Palestine. I can try and see if he remembers Troman Junior. I will come back on this one if I can glean any news.

Hello,
I have just come off the phone to Cliff Meredith. He distinctly remembers a triumvirate of Sjts in Palestine they caused a fair bit of mayhem between them.Cliff remembers a Sjt TRUMAN and he was from "Brum" and he was in the anti tank platoon and his subaltern was Lt Farrar Hockley who later became a general. One of the other Sjts was a man named Ellison and one other whose name Cliff has forgotten (Cliff is now aged 88) rose to the rank of Colonel. Truman done all his service in the Paras. I did think as an an amateur it could be an outside chance maybe the medals had been damaged on the rim and the name Troman became TRUMAN a long shot.I sincerely hope this e mail does not muddy the waters but I reckon it was worth a try. My thanks of course go out to the many experts who have contributed to this thread and I fully respect their input as always. As an after thought I was also unable to e mail Caernarvon or even obtain 3 order forms for the two volumes of the RWF history I wanted to distribute to interested sources. Nil carborundum illegitimii as the saying goes.
