Revisiting this thread of about a year ago I realise that I never did forum members the courtesy of mentioning the final result of their advice. This was a website page about this man, including extracts from his 1940 NBC radio interview which I mentioned in the thread. It's here, if anyone wants to have a look at it: http://www.staffshomeguard.co.uk/L3O...esstaffshg.htm

I remain very grateful for all the help which forum members generously gave me.
