Hi, and thanks for your responses.
Wyler - at no time was trawling a forum looking for dirt. I was looking for advice on how to proceed in an appropriate manner.
I am pleased to say that I took some of the advice on here and that I am now satisfied the guy is who he says he is. Stuff checks out, people I have contacted have confirmed him as pukka, thoroughly decent chap which is what I always hoped all along.
As for the anon 'phone call - I can only put it down to there being some vicious buggers out there. He's obviously pissed someone off at some point.
Cheers again for your help.
PS.
I don't have a service number to Google, but my NI number comes up as a weather forecast.

Well, that shouldn't have come as a total surprise observing that your moniker is a weather forecast area!:

PS Glad that all's swell that ends swell

Mrs DD works for the RBL and, as you would expect, at this time of year she gets loads of help from Vets. Some of them may have embelished their sevice records, just a little bit. Most, of course, do not and have no need or desire to do so. All they are doing is raising money for the needy among us. They do not come into contact with the "vulnerable".
So, as they are doing no harm, but a load of good, nothing is done. Last year one chap did turn up with an increadable "Service History". The sort that, if it was, true, you would not want to tell too many people about. Furthermore a quick check of the Op Corporate Honours List (Falklands Campaign, for you, Tyne) showed that the first of his impressive collection of Decorations was false. As all in the office were suitably underwhelmed by him, he went away.
