He said he lost most of his friends. this is what i have been told is there anyway i can check any of this any clues on where to start looking would be a great help or aprox years Dad= John William Underwood b1920 Lancashire mancs Regards Tracy

Message 2 - posted by ex4thhussar (U520216) , Aug 31, 2009 Tracey To give others a fighting chance of identifying your father, do you know which Hussars/ SAS/ Parachute regiments he was in ? Is he still with you? What other countries did he serve in? In what year did he enlist or was called up? Have you applied for his Army Records? If you seriously want to know more about your Dad then be prepared for "the long haul" Good luck Ron This is a reply to this message
