	Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry.Pte.4289169 Hit a brick wall.I can't find him on any of the Military Records and think I have tried them all.Have sent to Army Records in Glasgow and the KOYLIES but there researcher is unwell at the moment. I believe he was awarded the Italian Star,Burma Star,Eygypt or West Africa Campaign Plus the War Medals. I think he was a regular before the war. All help would be gladly received
