Could be but who am I to argue - haven't a clue!!  ::)


Not even sure he was a casualty - just clutching at straws
I believe him to be a Francis Crook and just did a general search on a******y which came up with two casualties. I am assuming it could be Francis Gerrard Crook as he was born in Lancashire in 1910 the same year as my grandfather

Clutching at straws indeed!

If I have matched the name to the correct ww2 roll of honour he was a lance bombardier in 182 bty 65 HAA Rgt, Royal Artillery

HAA (?)

But, like I say I may have the wrong person!

Thank you

I have found someone of the same name on the ww2 deaths - could this be a royal artillery cap badge?

Thank you, there is nothing on the back, it's just one of the old postcard type photos

He is Francis Crook from Bolton, Lancs but that's about all I know I'm afraid
He was my grandfather's best man in 1938
???
Thanks

Thank you

Looks suspiciously as your description - do you know if there are records to confirm if he was in this regiment?
