Thanks T.Mo and SCRIMNET for repling

I have all ready written to the Corps Security, and they said he is not listed as a member
of the Corps of Commissionares, but they did say there is a Special Events Team, but records
only go back six years
Is he wearing a Commissionares uniform, so he could have been in such a team

Thanks
John
