Argentinian Toc H officer in Burma
Does any member have any ideas about this chap. The picture came with a lot of Pow ephemera. He is wearing a Toc H cap badge and shoulder slip ons with added Argentina tags. The name on the back says Major Garry Ppeippher or something .Burma 1945

Wearing the ribbon of the 1939-45 Star, I can't make out the other one (Pacific Star, Burma Star?).

In the MID he is shown as "MR" and on the rear of the photo it is written "MAJOR" but I cannot see any rank emblem on him.
So as a member of TOC H would he have a military rank?? Jerry engr9266

Pretty shabby behaviour I must say, getting us to do all his research.
Clear breach of the Forum rules.

That`s not me selling the post card. My cousin asked me if i knew anything about the unit and as i don`t i thought i`d ask the experts. I collect ww1 and gave up on ebay ages ago as its too full of rubbish.
