I came across a mention of his Military life which said RG (Royal Garrison) Curt (NEO)
what does Curt (NEO) mean? But wonder was it Navy as well?
Also why would you go from Barbados to Canada to India and Mauritius in a very short time was it usual to have your wife and family moving with you?
So many questions hopefully someone will be able to help me with information.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards
Paul Williams
