Notes - (Research):Possibly with his parents at the time of the 1939 register, as he would have been a bit young to be in the forces, but there are 3 of their children I haven't found in the register and only one with them (entry closed, as at 31 Jan 2017). The 3 include one younger sister who I think most likely the one with them - or had she been evacuated?
