Other information
The nominal roll records that Andrew did not receive a certificate of service. He is allocated to this Patrol by his address.
Cousin, Cecil Coleman recalls; "I remember him as a great walker, well over 6 foot tall, he couldn't drive and he walked everywhere. He probably knew every footpath in a 5 to 10 mile radius of his home in Membury. It would be nothing to him to walk to Hinton St George to a farm sale then home again. He's buried in Chardstock Churchyard. We had no idea he was involved with anything like this".
