And did he marry in 1941 (you said you had info up to 1955).  It seems a bit odd that your Lucien was born in 1919 with a father Percy and there is another Lucien born 1917 also father Percy.

It may be that Solarsal could comment?

He married in 1941 to a Eva Mary Higgins...I had a lady who said she had a friend that was also looking for the same lucien sent me information about 2yrs ago...she was the daughter off Eva Mary Higgins.....my father who is the son off Lucien was born in 1946  his mother was  mavis cox

Looking back at Solarsal's posts I would say that the both Lucien's are the same person and that the difference in dates of birth is simply one of those errors that appears over the years.

Don't want to take this off topic, but can anyone supply any general info about the American Forces use of interpreters in Europe during WWll ?

My parents had come to Britain as children, and were employed by the US army in Switzerland (I think,) as interpreters, the British forces having rejected them as "aliens".
