Hi all,
I would love to find out any details - he was a maintenance electrician in civvy- not sure if that translated - I know he was posted somewhere - and contracted malaria, also ended up with something they called 'chinese foot rot' - mum said she believed from being in permanently wet footwear for lengths of time. As I arrived 8 years after his discharge and he was one of the don't talk about anything type - I know nothing else and everyone who may have know anything has passed.
the only info I have is the discharge paper,
dated 1 May 1946, for release I think it reads 20 Jun 1946.
CH/X 111650. and of course his address on release.
So Chatham Division, Royal Marines -
the date stamp has the words L16 FOOD OFFICE included,
his details - Daniel William Hudson, usually known as 'Bill' -
dob 29 Nov 1924, he died 28 Aug 1966.
The only source of anything I've found so far is the GOV.UK who want £30 for what would likely be very scant if any details!Not in my budget as I'm one in the new void created by delaying women's pensions. Hope someone out there can supply information I have wondered about for a very long time - I was only 12 when he passed with cardiac arrest out of the blue - I'd like to know more about him.
