He's not showing Andy. Did he sign up in WW11?

Hi Gins. Yes that possible. I thought he was called up, but may have signed up early. Thank you for looking.

The trancription doesn't show a closed record but looking at the actual record sheet there are two closed records

They could be for the neighbours but one could also be him too


He could have already signed up

I am not showing at home on the record because I had been evacuated end sept

I am though a closed record with my foster parents .

If he signed up then he probably wouldn't show
