thanks - think they are a bit beyond help to be honest. I am starting to lose the will to investigate.

They look normal enough on the surface but don't match what he said which makes them unhelpful to us!

Maybe he chose not to tell people the truth for one reason or another.

For example, When my dad got out of France in June 1940, I believe he was in the sea water when the ship sank.

But, I do not think that when he arrived home safe that he told his mum or my mum what had happened,  out of consideration for them and them possibly worrying more subsequently in the war.

ours is the opposite though - the records imply he did nothing, he indicated on a couple of occasions that he did.

I have posted a link to photos of some of his records now. I need to check actually if that is all of them, I forget where I got to with it all.
