Also looking for anyone who is related to someone who fought with my grandfather, Albert Peddle, in Burma during the second world war. Would love it if anyone had any info/photographs o him as ours were lost in a fire.

Thanks

Debbie.

Maybe his Army records will have a photo
You can apply for the records as a next if kin with proof of his death

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

Try the Imperial War Museum. If you know his regiment you might be lucky.

On the other hand, a lot of regiments have their own museum - always worth a try.

Try The Burma Star Association.

They might head you in the right direction.
