Hi guys

Wow that's a good bit of detective work-love it.

Anything else?

bit more info on William Frank Turney- think he was in Hussars and servived both wars

John Charles Turney was in airforce and out in Burma in WW2

One of them- I think the latter left under a cloud-no clues.

Have spoken to neighbour

Hi Peter-Brilliant- thanks

"bit more info on William Frank Turney- think he was in Hussars and servived both wars

John Charles Turney was in airforce and out in Burma in WW2

One of them- I think the latter left under a cloud-no clues." Really intrigued why he left in disgrace
