[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 333191, member: 8767"] Wow. We found his burial plot details and because we also have his last living address we intend to visit his home and his War grave site to pay our respects. We go thru the Bridge regularly. Maybe we can find out if there are living descendants to pass the badge onto. He had or came from a large family, none or few surviving him, we will do our best. My family are all feeling quite emotional as there now seems to be a slow tide of information coming in on us, funny how one small tangible thing can connect your feelings. Just a lost item at a local night out dance. ;) His discharge from the Army as a Sapper was on the same day as the Badge was given to him 18th Feb 1946. Kato has expressed that she is having some strange emotions, she was so hoping to return his badge to his family. [/QUOTE]
