Thanks

Hi

There is a person named Michael Schoeman who is currently busy on a book that covers this specific topic as well. He has no e-mail communication but I see him some times.
What specific info do you require and maybe I can approach him?

Hiya,

Its to do with P/O F Posener who was KIA on the 20th July 1940. I am trying to locate his DOB, where he went to school and if he has any family still alive?

Any help would be very grateful.

Regards

Danny
