242464 Pte. Peter "Flash" Henderson British Army 2nd Battallion Black Watch from:10 Piershill Square, Edinburgh This information was only gathered a few months before Peter Henderson's death in August 2017 aged 92 years. He was called up in 1943 aged 18yrs. He was enlisted into the 2nd Battalion Black Watch and later into the Royal Scots. Eventually he was transferred into the RASC and served two and a half years in India.
His Father (also Peter), was already serving in World War 2 (and had also served in WW1, having lied about his age to enlist). They never came in contact with each other during their service - in spite of the fact that his father was also in the RASC.
