He apparently had all the official gunfire etc at his funeral in Withybrook , Warwickshire in 1963 , he served in the army i think all his working life if not till 1950ish at least Dont know if this is any help to a lead but i have found another flowers (william) and he is believed to be the brother and I do have his army number (not referance) and all details of his death , he also served in the same regiment , The Royal Warwickshire too Deb
