This is my grandad I never meet, or even know his name till now. I knew my grandmother Hilder, when I was young, as she moved to Birmingham in her later life, until she passed away. Thank you so much for posting this. Finding this information means a lot to me. I have also lost contact with my father, his son, Alan Stanley Maycock for over 20 years,. He also served in the Army for over 25 years. I’m desperately trying to find him, and is how I stubbled on this post.
Hi Dean
Thank you, were pleased to hear that we have been able to assist in some way. Hope your hunt for Alan is successful
