Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 77 Send Message	Sorry Chris! You are right I was looking at the wrong generation! Yes this is him - he was the elder brother of my great grandmother Florence Catherine Dicks! I don't know anything about his war efforts so this is a new line for me to investigate THANK YOU X
