shash,the ref in his release book,W/SGT.means hes a war sergeant,hes only in for the duration of the war,at the end of the war they didnt want to be left with thousands of NCOs who wanted to stay in the army,so they designated them as W/SGT [war only] mack
ps,and i agree with annie,he was a brave fella

Der...I should read the posts!!

One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
