Thank you D120A and Old Duffer, I'm still trying to get my head around the ranking system used at the time. I think I got confused by him being noted as ranked Corporal rather than Corporal Tech as mentioned in an earlier post. Like I say, I know very little about him (my Gran still refuses to discuss it) but the information gained in the last few days is wonderful not only for family history but also for my own interest in history.
I have always been told he worked on the radios, so he will have been a technical tradesman although I was unaware of the separate ranking until today so didn't make the connection. The information you very knowledgeable chaps have told me is more than we have been able to find since we started looking! I wish I'd found this site sooner
