 Thank you very much Shaun, i have passed the two men for her to look at.

Shaunj sorry they have found Date of Birth as 1906 so unless there is an error not him. But thanks very much for trying.

 Yes Shaunj it was 28th October 1906,they found his birth Cert. So unless there is a error then not him. Although i would have thought with two William Mc Farlanes both in REME at the same time a third although possible ,might be unusual.

Aha - here he is - perhaps:
