Hi rootschatters, I have just received a marriage cert for my great uncle Colin Aubrey William Dare who the family lost contact with when they came to Australia in the 50's, on the cert it has his WW2 service no, I'm wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to find more info on him it states that he was staying at Buller barracks when he married 28 Aug 1948 and his no was T/21183380, C.S.M, RASC. cheers Merideth

Hello Meredith, I too am trying to find details of Colin Aubrey William Dare who was born in India around 1918. His birthday was 27th July. He left India in 1947 with his wife Joyce (nee Trevor). As far as I know, he was in the Merchant Navy and served on a ship called HMS Devonshire which was berthed in Madras in 1946/47. Could this be the same person? The name is identical and if you want to contact me to discuss things further I would be very happy.
