Thank you again chaps. Coincidentally I had just found and copied the cards from Ancestry as recommended by Leigh above. Wonder what all the other abbreviated stuff means, particularly the 'Action Taken' box? Looks like a medal or medals, plus the 'EF/2/5660' which appears several times over elsewhere on the card?
It's giving a real sense of who he was now, as our father never spoke of him.
