Have been away for a while so havent seen your posts. Len was born 1914, mother's maiden name Pearson and married Annie Pritchard 1940. Don't know why there are no service records for. Just for interest he was working at the Dudley rail depot in Castle Hill when the Black Panther shot and killed a guard there before he kidnapped Leslie Whittle and hid her in a drain!!
