One of our contributors, Rob Bowie, sent us some images of a 50 Franc French bank note that was signed by members of 1st KOSB's Signals section the night before D-Day.
The note was kept by Rob's Father-in law, Norman Bowie, and, years later, Rob tried to find who the people were behind the signatures. We had a look at it but also didn't make much progress until we were checking medal cards for those wounded in action and noticed that, if the soldier survived, they normally signed their medal cards...
This set us off on a quest and with quite a bit of detective work, we have managed to track down the names and some details on who these gentlemen were.
