G'Day All!
Alittle teaser I've taken on,no nationality known,nothing except that he shared a lifeboat with my old Dad in the aftermath of P.Q.17 an Actic convoy that did'nt do too well.
As well as the lifeboat he and Dad shared Dad's last fag,half each!A witness to this event,visiting Dad's place of work heard Dad say to someone,"here our Kid,have half of mine."promptly jumped up and said,"I knew I'd met you before,but couldn't recall where."
Sadly the Witness wasn't recorded.Just another out of town driver!
I am not in a panic for info;several site's are very helpful but none specific.
Another mystery to keep us happy!
