That's the second of the group in the photo who didn't make it through the war the Alan, as Charlie Hill died on August 29/30th 1944 in the Baltic Sea.
There's ten in the photo so I suspect, given the attrition rate, that there'll be a few more.
I'll scan the photograph and attach it tomorrow. Many thanks for your posting.
Yes Paul, it might be interesting to see if that heps date the one I have. Sorry for the delay in replying but I didn't see any notification that there had been a follow-up post.
I've been busy trying to find out the fate of the others in the photograph, but thus far AW's finding about Dave Adams is the only one.
