    Lawrence if you have his service number I am sure I can dig him out for you if he's a Brit.

    Gil, this is the picture from the site. I believe the service number is 1825 and I can see the 3 but it's a bad pic so I can't make out the subsequent script. As I'd mentioned earlier, it's a Tpr. R. Walker, SAC. What are the odds that you'd be able to get some info on the bloke?
