roger Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 He looks like he is wearing hostpital uniform but I'm afraid I don't know the significance of the arm patch. Maybe something to do with denoting his condition or the hostpital. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byott Posted 12 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 12 October , 2004 Ummmmm...............still no mention of him under Byatt under CWGC Hi Ian. Thanks for that. yes some times they did get our name mixed up as Byatt. I soppose that is why he is not on the CWGC. As he was in hospital sufffering from shell shock when he took his own life. ??? he had been in the war for 3 years. shall get a researcher on to this later. Thanks for the help thou.
