Other information
The nominal roll wrongly records his initials as L. F.
His niece recalls; "For many years after the war he kept his wartime work a secret and it is only in later years before his death that we learnt more about his role. He was born and lived in Mill Cottage located on Stoke Gabriel Mill just a few hundred yards from the operational base at Sandridge."
