Milk Roundsman
His Army number lies between two known members of the South Lincolnshire Scout Section. This makes it very likely he was a member as he was also one of handful of men to join the SAS from this regiment, and it is known that they recruited from former Scout Section members. Although it has not been possible yet to completely confirm that he served with Auxiliary Units, this seems very likely. We would be pleased to receive any further information that might confirm this.
It has not been possible to confirm that the Roy Chapman of the Lincolnshire Regiment featured here is definitely the Roy Chapman, Scout Section member and SAS Trooper. We know that there were other men named Roy Chapman living in Lincolnshire at the time.
