Hi Annie,

I would say Unis Allife. I don't think it is Elvis. It looks like that top of the letter is just a squiggle to me as it is not actually connected to the U...........Kris  :D

MMM I have been known to be wrong before and on seeing Annie's reply, when I went to post I guess it can't be Unis - A Male Soldier  ??? Move study required...........Cheers Kris  :D

Hi Karen !

I just posted on Armed Forces to see if there are any offcer lists available ........ bit of a longshot !! but if there was a list we could maybe match up names ........ of course that's pie in the sky  ::)  - but you never know ...... people here work miracles all the time !!  :)

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,243921.new.html#new

I have no idea about the census ..... without a name ........ or knowledge of his family - it's kind of impossible !
