He was in the war as a flight leutenant between 1943 - 1945. Although he returned briefly to Guyana it seems that he was again residing in the UK in 1948, as evidenced by a photograph I have of him in his RAF uniform, dated October 1948. He was married to an english woman, possibly named 'Joan' and had a son and daughter. The son's name may have been Rashid, daughter - maybe Nariman. They could have been living in Harrogate, Yorkshire in the early 1950's. I also have an aged black and white photograph of Fizul with his young son and daughter, the stamp on the back reads 'John R Petty, Station Square, Harrogate'. Fizul was thought to have passed away late 1950's early 1960's. Fizul and my father were first cousins. I would be very interested to hear from anyone related to him - especially his children.
