Dear members
Not sure if anyone can help but will ask.....
My father Royston James Jones (deceased 1996) served under Captain Evans in the Somerset &Cornwall Light Infantry.
He had such respect for the man (a rare event for my father) that when I was born in May 1964, shortly after Capt Edwards death in Aden, I was named after him.
I know the circumstances of his tragic death but wondered if he had a family/children at the time? If so I would like to send them my respects and to let them know he was never forgotten in our family.
Thanks
Robin James Jones
