Hi Andy J2022
Thank you so much for both of your replies. That is so incredibly helpful to me and much appreciated.
I can see that collecting your pay at the barracks was a huge incentive and why desertion was taken so seriously. Martin appears to have gone to ground after this and then he left for the USA where the trail goes cold. It's great to fill in a bit more detail on his life.
Kindest regards
