David (djb),
I have just received a nice group of medals to a man who served with the Bodyguard, and was hoping that you might please be able to find the time to check if his attestation is still available.
I already have a fair bit of background on him, but paperwork might give me a couple of leads to follow up.

He is;

22586 Trooper Walter John Ramsay

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Steve

Steve,

From the medal rolls it looks as though CinCBG was the only unit in which he served.

Best wishes
David
