One man I am stuck on at present is John Victor DANIEL got nothing to go on as yet. The other 13 should be OK once we get Harry or John Bridge sorted.
It s the WW2 men that give the most problems

Forgot to add that his Soldier Effects also give brothers David and Robert, sisters Mary and Hannah (Martin), so it does look as if he may very well be John for the military and Harry/Henry at home.
