Commando Signals

[leigh kitchen]

The IWM has a signed, bound photocopied transcript of "THE SPECIAL TRAINING CENTRE, LOCHAILORT, INVERNESS-SHIRE A PERSONAL MEMOIR" by an AF Austen, but with a production date of 1991, which doesn't tally with the date of death given in post no. 10.

There's mention of a Private, later Colonel AF Austen (1943 Brigade Signals) in "In The Picture: The Facts behind the Fiction in Evelyn Waugh’s Sword of Honour", by Donat Gallagher, Carlos Villar Flor.

But again, is this the correct AF Austen?

When he sees this thread Mike B may have some relevant info........

Leigh, I think the man in post 7 fits the bill, I believe he wrote or was going to write a book on radios used by SF.

Many thanks Rob
