Which Regiment Please. Reginald & Marjorie Swan
« on: Wednesday 08 February 23 13:56 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone please advise me which regiment Reginald Swan was in. Believed to have married wife Marjorie in Birmingham in 1938.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Carol

They are very excited as they have seen the digital version.
I'm so pleased that it is going back to where it belongs, with Family who will appreciate it.
