Hi ap71,
Don't think you should be showing your email address ,as this will show up on the Web.

Best of Luck

Welcome to the 3T ap71 - I have just checked the photo you were talking about and am posting a smaller version in the hope it will jog someone's memory - lots of these people are still around the three towns - so hopefully someone will come up with something for you. The Benson in question here would probably be around 59/60 now - would that be about the right age?

Meg

yes that sounds about right.
he was in the army also. i shall try and get more info on.
thank you for the reply
