Cpl. Leslie Shafer?
Army 5th Btn. The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders
I'm search for many years a Corporal Leslie, or his relatives, the surname from Leslie I don't know, on one of the photo?s is his signature and the name look like Shafer. He was round begin December 1944 with his unit in the village of Vught and he often visite us in our home in Hertogenbosch province Nord Brabant-Holland. So far I know he has served in the 51th Highland Division, 152nd Brigade, 5th Bn. Queen Own Cameron Highlanders. Leslie must go with his unit on 16 December 1944 to the Ardennes in Belgium and was billeted in Chaudfontaine on 3 January 1945.
My information say, that his unit returned on 18 January 1945 back in the village of Vught, but we have never more somewhat heard from him.
Who can help me to find him or his relatives, I hope that someone recognize or
identify this man on the photo ? He is not Leslie Thompson from Inverness !
